What is AWS Fargate?
AWS Fargate is a Serverless Container platform where you can run containers on
EC2 instances managed by AWS. This relieves customers from provisioning,
configuring, or scaling of VMs to run containers. The compute instances (powered by
Firecracker) are microVMs that run in AWS managed VPCs (invisible to customers).
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).

What is AWS Fargate?
AWS Fargate is a service that provisions serverless compute resources to run AWS ECS and EKS
containers. AWS states that Fargate allows you to focus on building your applications when you let
Fargate provision and manage the infrastructure required. Think of it as containers on-demand with no
underlying manually created infrastructure that are quick to launch and scale, where you manage
everything at the container level.
You specify the resources your application needs to run and Fargate handles the provisioning of
compute resources in an isolated and secure instance.

What is AWS Fargate?
Fargate determines the correct amount of compute resources required, which means you don’t need to
worry about selecting instance types or having to scale the cluster capacity.
With Fargate you only pay for the resources required to run your containers as they are consumed
which means you eliminate over provisioning and paying for servers you don’t need.
Fargate tasks (pods) run in their own kernels providing a secure and isolated compute environment,
which provides an isolated workload and improved security as a consequence.
Some major AWS clients like Vanguard, Accenture, Foursquare and Ancestry have selected Fargate to
run their mission critical applications.

Use case for AWS Fargate
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.

5.
Use case for AWS Fargate
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.
Optimize Costs
With AWS Fargate there are no upfront expenses, pay for only the resources used.
Further optimize with Compute Savings Plans and Fargate Spot, then
use Graviton2 powered Fargate for up to 40% price performance improvements.

AWS Fargate
AWS Fargate is a technology that you can use with Amazon ECS to
run containers without having to manage servers or clusters of Amazon
EC2 instances. With Fargate, you no longer have to provision, configure,
or scale clusters of virtual machines to run containers. This removes the
need to choose server types, decide when to scale your clusters, or
optimize cluster packing.
When you run your Amazon ECS tasks and services with the Fargate
launch type or a Fargate capacity provider, you package your application
in containers, specify the Operating System, CPU and memory
requirements, define networking and IAM policies, and launch the
application. Each Fargate task has its own isolation boundary and does
not share the underlying kernel, CPU resources, memory resources, or
elastic network interface with another task.

AWS Fargate
We can use the Fargate launch type or a Fargate capacity provider to run
your Amazon ECS tasks and services. To use Fargate, you can package
your application in containers, specify the Operating System, CPU, and
memory requirements, configure networking and IAM policies, and
launch it.
There is no need to maintain a base CPU and RAM capacity to host
containers. We can tell AWS how much resource a task needs and leave
the rest of the task to AWS. Each Fargate task has its isolation barrier, so
it doesn’t share the underlying kernel, CPU, memory, or elastic network
interface with other tasks.

8.
How does AWS Fargate work?
To utilise Fargate to manage the deployment of your application container, you will need
to have a container stored in a container registry like ECR or DockerHub and set up a
task and cluster via ECS or EKS.
The steps in the deployment cycle are:
1) Build a container image
2) Host in a registry ie Amazon ECR or DockerHub
3) Choose an orchestration service - either Amazon ECS or EKS
4) Create a Cluster taking the AWS Fargate option

•AWS Fargate with Amazon EKS is available in all Amazon EKS Regions except AWS GovCloud
(US-East)
and AWS GovCloud (US-West).
•Each pod that runs on Fargate has its own isolation boundary.
They don't share the underlying kernel, CPU resources, memory resources,
or elastic network interface with another pod.
•Network Load Balancers and Application Load Balancers (ALBs) can be used
with Fargate with IP targets only.
•Fargate exposed services only run on target type IP mode, and not on node IP mode.
•The recommended way to check the connectivity from a service running on a managed node and
a service running on Fargate is to connect via service name.
•Pods must match a Fargate profile at the time that they're scheduled to run on Fargate.
Pods that don't match a Fargate profile might be stuck as Pending.
• If a matching Fargate profile exists, you can delete pending pods that you have
created to reschedule them onto Fargate.
•Daemonsets aren't supported on Fargate. If your application requires a daemon,
reconfigure that daemon to run as a sidecar container in your pods.
•Privileged containers aren't supported on Fargate.
