Amazon ECS Pricing
Pricing overview
Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is purpose-built to help you run your architecture in an efficient, automated, and scalable manner. You pay for AWS resources (for example, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud [Amazon EC2] instances or Amazon Elastic Block Store [Amazon EBS] volumes) you create to store and run your application. You only pay for what you use, as you use it; there are no minimum fees and no upfront commitments

Amazon ECS charge models
There are three different charge models for Amazon ECS. Amazon ECS on AWS Outposts follows the same model as Amazon EC2 Launch Type.
AWS Fargate Launch Type
With AWS Fargate, you pay for the amount of vCPU and memory resources that your containerized application requests. vCPU and memory resources are calculated from the time your container images are pulled until the Amazon ECS Task terminates, rounded up to the nearest second. A minimum charge of one minute applies.
See detailed pricing information on the AWS Fargate pricing page.
Amazon ECS Managed Instances
You pay a management fee for Amazon EC2 instances launched and managed by ECS Managed Instances, in addition to standard EC2 instance charges. Both the ECS Managed Instances fee and EC2 charges are billed per-second, with a one-minute minimum, based on instance type and duration. See detailed pricing information on the Amazon ECS Managed Instances Pricing Page.
Amazon EC2 Launch Type
There is no additional charge for Amazon EC2 launch type. You pay for AWS resources (such as Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon EBS volumes, or public IPv4 addresses) you create to store and run your application. You only pay for what you use, as you use it; there are no minimum fees and no upfront commitments.
See detailed pricing information on the Amazon EC2 pricing page.
Amazon ECS on AWS Outposts
Amazon ECS on AWS Outposts pricing is simple and works the same as it does in the cloud: the Amazon ECS control plane is in the cloud (not on Outposts) and your container instances run on the Outposts EC2 capacity at no additional charge.
Please refer to the AWS Outposts pricing page for details on Outposts capacity pricing.
