In one sentence
Serverless compute for containers used with ECS or EKS, billed for task or pod resources.
Key points
- Fargate is compute capacity, not a container orchestrator.
- ECS or EKS defines and orchestrates workloads while Fargate runs them.
- It removes server provisioning, patching, and cluster-capacity management.
Exam takeaway
Use EC2 capacity when specialized instances, deeper host control, or steady large-scale economics matter.
