AWS Fargate
AWS Fargate handles container execution without you managing the underlying servers. It abstracts away EC2 instances, scaling capacity automatically for your Docker or Kubernetes workloads. You define CPU and memory requirements, and AWS provisions the necessary infrastructure to run your tasks, removing the operational burden of patching and capacity planning.
This setup suits teams prioritizing speed over infrastructure control, but it lacks a free tier. Pricing requires direct contact with AWS, meaning costs aren't transparent upfront. You pay strictly for the resources your containers consume, which can lead to higher expenses compared to managing your own instances if you don't optimize resource allocation carefully.
