AWS for Beginners: What is Fargate and How Does it Work With EKS — Part 74

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that allows you to run containers without managing the underlying infrastructure. With Fargate, you can focus on building and running your applications in containers without the need to provision, configure, or scale the underlying compute resources.

Key features of AWS Fargate:

Serverless Compute for Containers:

Fargate abstracts away the complexity of managing servers, enabling you to deploy and run containerized applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure. This serverless approach simplifies the container orchestration process.

Container Orchestration Integration:

Fargate seamlessly integrates with popular container orchestration services, such as Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) and Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service). This allows you to use familiar tools and workflows for managing and orchestrating your containers.

Resource Scaling:

Fargate automatically handles the scaling of compute resources based on the resource requirements of your containers. You can specify CPU and memory requirements for each task, and Fargate ensures that the necessary resources are allocated.

Isolation and Security:

Fargate provides a level of isolation between containers running on the same cluster, ensuring security and preventing interference. Each task runs in its own dedicated kernel, and tasks do not share underlying compute resources.
