AWS Fargate is one of the newer offerings from Amazon Web Services, allowing you to run containers without managing servers or clusters. AWS Fargate is offered as a launch type for ECS and EKS (planned for 2018). When choosing the previously available EC2 launch type for ECS or EKS, the user is responsible for provisioning enough infrastructure resources (EC2 instances). Using the new Fargate launch type this is completely automated, and AWS is taking care of it.
