What is AWS Fargate?
AWS Fargate is a technology that you can use with Amazon ECS to run containers
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 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.
This topic describes the different components of Fargate tasks and services, and calls out special considerations for using Fargate with Amazon ECS.
