AWS Fargate Documentation

Serverless compute for containers deploy and manage your applications, not infrastructure. Fargate removes the operational overhead of scaling, patching, securing, and managing servers.

Monitor your applications via built-in integrations with AWS. Gather metrics and logs with third-party tools.

Fargate helps you improve security through workload isolation . Amazon ECS tasks and Amazon EKS pods run in their own dedicated runtime environment.

How it works

AWS Fargate is a serverless, pay-as-you-go compute engine that lets you focus on building applications without managing servers. AWS Fargate is compatible with both Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).

Use cases

Web apps, APIs, and microservices

Build and deploy your applications, APIs, and microservices architectures with the speed and immutability of containers. Fargate removes the need to own, run, and manage the lifecycle of a compute infrastructure so that you can focus on what matters most: your applications.

Run and scale container workloads

Use Fargate with Amazon ECS or Amazon EKS to easily run and scale your containerized data processing workloads. Fargate also enables you to migrate and run your Amazon ECS Windows containers without refactoring or rearchitecting your legacy applications.

Support AI and ML training applications

Create an AI and ML development environment that is flexible and portable. With Fargate, achieve the scalability you need to boost server capacity without over-provisioning— to train, test, and deploy your machine learning (ML) models.
