Fargate

In plain terms

AWS's serverless compute engine for containers.

Going deeper

Fargate runs containers without you managing the underlying servers, so you deploy tasks and AWS handles the infrastructure. It's serverless containers.

Under the hood

No node management or capacity planning; you pay per task resource, trading some control for simplicity.

Examples

Serverless containers, ECS/EKS tasks, batch jobs, no node management.

Think of it like...

Like running containers in a hotel where you never see or manage the building.
