AWS Fargate vs. non-Fargate

Fargate vs. Non-Fargate: Choosing the Right Container Orchestration Strategy for Your Needs

In the age of cloud computing, containers have become the go-to solution for deploying and scaling applications. And when it comes to container orchestration on AWS, the two main options are Fargate and non-Fargate (which typically involves Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon ECS). But which one is right for you?

What is Fargate?

Fargate is a serverless compute engine for Amazon ECS that allows you to run containers without having to provision or manage underlying EC2 instances. This eliminates the need for tasks like cluster packing, scaling, and patching, making it a more hands-off and simpler approach to container orchestration.
