There are two different charge models for Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS). Amazon ECS on AWS Outposts follows the same model as EC2 Launch Type.
Fargate Launch Type Model
With 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 1 minute applies.
See detailed pricing information on the AWS Fargate pricing page.
EC2 Launch Type Model
There is no additional charge for EC2 launch type. You pay for AWS resources (e.g. EC2 instances or 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.
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.
