AWS Fargate

aid: fargate
name: AWS Fargate
description: >-
  AWS Fargate is a serverless, pay-as-you-go compute engine for containers that
  works with Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes
  Service (EKS). It removes the need to provision and manage servers, letting you
  focus on building and running applications without managing infrastructure.

      The Amazon ECS API provides programmatic access to manage Fargate tasks and
      services through Amazon Elastic Container Service. It supports creating and
      managing clusters, task definitions, services, and container instances using
      the Fargate launch type for serverless container execution.
