With AWS Fargate, there are no upfront costs and you pay only for the resources you use. You pay for the amount of vCPU, memory, and storage resources consumed by your containerized applications running on Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).

AWS Fargate Pricing

AWS Fargate pricing is calculated based on the vCPU, memory, Operating Systems, CPU Architecture1, and storage resources used from the time you start to download your container image until the Amazon ECS Task or Amazon EKS2 Pod terminates, rounded up to the nearest second.

1 Windows Operating System and ARM CPU Architecture are currently only available for Amazon ECS.

Pricing Details

Pricing is based on requested vCPU, memory, Operating Systems, CPU Architecture1, and storage resources for the Task or Pod. The five dimensions are independently configurable.

Fargate Spot Pricing for Amazon ECS

Fargate Spot allows customers to run interrupt-tolerant Amazon ECS Tasks* on spare capacity at up to a 70% discount off the regular Fargate price. With Fargate Spot, you pay the Spot price that is in effect for the time period your Amazon ECS Tasks are running. Fargate Spot prices are set by AWS Fargate and adjust gradually based on long-term trends in supply and demand for Fargate Spot capacity. The following table displays the current Spot price for vCPU-hour and GB-hour for each region.

* Fargate Spot for Amazon ECS is currently only available for Linux Operating System and x86 CPU Architecture.

Compute Savings Plan for Amazon ECS & Amazon EKS

Take advantage of Savings Plans if you have a consistent amount of Fargate usage. Savings Plans offer savings of up to 50% on your AWS Fargate usage in exchange for a commitment to use a specific amount of compute (measure in dollars per hour) for a one- or three-year term.

Additional Charges

You may incur additional charges if your containers use other AWS services or transfers data. For example, if your containers use Amazon CloudWatch Logs for application logging, you are billed for CloudWatch usage.
