Introduction to AWS Fargate
Take this introductory course to learn how AWS Fargate makes it easier for you to run applications using containers. Walk through an example architecture of Fargate and Amazon ECS.
Get started with AWS Fargate using Amazon EKS
Get started running pods on AWS Fargate with your Amazon EKS cluster.
Get started with AWS Fargate using Amazon ECS Copilot
Copilot CLI is a tool for developers to build, release, and operate production-ready containerized applications on AWS App Runner and Amazon ECS with Fargate.
Get Started with Infrastructure As Code with Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate
With Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate, users don't need to manage any middleware, any Amazon EC2 instances, or host OS. Amazon ECS Solution Blueprints, gives you a jumpstart and allows you to learn-by-doing. It codifies best practices, well-designed architecture patterns, and provides end-to-end solutions addressing CI/CD, observability, security, and cost efficiency.
Observing, Troubleshooting, and Optimizing Workloads Running on Amazon ECS
Take this course to learn how to gain observability into your applications running on Amazon ECS. You will learn how to collect metrics, logs, and traces at the system and application level. Finally, learn how to apply this to identify and correct problems.
Workshops
Amazon ECS Workshop

Videos
Introductory videos
Learn the basics of AWS Fargate and how to get started running containerized applications and microservices on AWS with this powerful technology.
This session provides a technical foundation for using AWS Fargate with your existing containerized services, as well as best practices for building images, configuring task definitions, task networking, secrets management, and monitoring.
Explore the security controls and best practices for securing containers running on AWS Fargate. This session covers networking setup, IAM, and the AWS and third-party tools you can use to deploy a secure, scalable cluster with AWS Fargate.
Advanced videos
Containers are a powerful tool for packaging your application and running it in the cloud. This session looks at the AWS Cloud Development Kit and uses it to build and deploy a container application using Fargate.
The AWS developer tools now offer improved continuous delivery support for the Amazon containers services. This session shows you how to implement blue/green deployments for AWS Fargate and Amazon ECS via AWS CodeDeploy.
Dive deep into microservices networking. This sessiones discuss how you can build, secure, and manage the communications into, out of, and between the various microservices that make up your application. You will also take an in-depth look into various networking modes supported in Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, and AWS Fargate and do a brief introduction to AWS App Mesh.
re:Invent videos
Explore concurrency and scaling across AWS App Runner, AWS Lambda containers, and AWS Fargate. Consider value and performance differences with a focus on helping you make the best platform decisions for your use case.
Dive deep into various visibility aspects of your serverless applications on AWS Fargate. Learn best practices around logging, alerting, metric collection, and monitoring the health of your containers. Also learn ways to troubleshoot container start up issues or application errors.
