AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine that enables developers to run containerized applications without the need to manage underlying servers or clusters. By abstracting the infrastructure layer, Fargate allows users to focus solely on building and deploying applications, streamlining the development process and reducing operational overhead. It integrates seamlessly with Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), providing a flexible and efficient environment for running containers at scale. Key Features and Functionality: - Serverless Compute for Containers: Fargate eliminates the need to provision and manage servers, handling capacity needs, operating system updates, and compliance requirements automatically. - Flexible Resource Configuration: Users can specify precise CPU and memory requirements for each container, with configurations ranging from 0.25 vCPU and 0.5 GB memory up to 4 vCPUs and 30 GB memory, allowing for optimal resource utilization. - Seamless Scaling: Fargate dynamically scales compute capacity to meet application demands, ensuring high availability and performance without manual intervention. - Enhanced Security: Each task or pod runs in its own dedicated runtime environment, providing workload isolation and reducing the risk of cross-container interference. - Integrated Monitoring: Built-in integrations with AWS services like Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights enable users to monitor applications effectively and gather metrics and logs. - Cost Optimization: With a pay-as-you-go pricing model, users pay only for the compute resources consumed by their applications, with per-second billing and no upfront expenses. Primary Value and Problem Solved: AWS Fargate addresses the complexity and overhead associated with managing server infrastructure for containerized applications. By providing a serverless environment, it allows developers to concentrate on writing code and deploying applications without worrying about provisioning, scaling, or maintaining servers. This leads to faster development cycles, improved security through workload isolation, and cost savings by eliminating the need to manage and pay for idle server capacity. Fargate's seamless integration with AWS services further enhances operational efficiency, making it an ideal solution for organizations looking to modernize their application deployment strategies. * * * Seller [Amazon Web Services (AWS)](https://www.g2.com/sellers/amazon-web-services-aws-3e93cc28-2e9b-4961-b258-c6ce0feec7dd) Discussions [AWS Fargate Community](https://www.g2.com/products/aws-fargate/discuss) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by John Miranda (Digital Marketing Specialist at Amazon Web Services) Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 1 month ### Return on Investment 8 months [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/aws-fargate/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Red Hat OpenShift](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Red Hat OpenShift") Red Hat OpenShift 4.5/5(306) ](https://www.g2.com/products/red-hat-red-hat-openshift/reviews) [ ![Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)") Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) 4.5/5(260) ](https://www.g2.com/products/google-kubernetes-engine-gke/reviews) [ ![SUSE Rancher](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "SUSE Rancher") SUSE Rancher 4.4/5(151) ](https://www.g2.com/products/suse-rancher/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/aws-fargate/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 96 real user reviews.

I like it because you as a developer/DevOps Engineer you don't need to manage or auto-scale the service anymore. AWS does all scaling and provide necessary resources to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about AWS Fargate? Not much I dislike about Fargate, but maybe cold starts would be prevented in some way as default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering AWS Fargate: I would suggest using Fargate instead of ECS most of the time, but be careful about the cold start, monitor it by leaving your application to get into Cold state to test it. Some languages/frameworks are very slow to start in their nature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is AWS Fargate solving and how is that benefiting you? We are deploying our micro-services to Fargate which are mostly used by other services. Since it is auto-scaled as default, it can handle unusual peaks of the service itself, which is very efficient.

DevOps Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 6/25/2020 "Great tool to deploy Containers" 5/5 What do you like best about AWS Fargate? Fargate it's one of the greatest AWS tools for Containers deployment, it provides a quick, super reliable way to have you docker containers deployed without the need of using EKS or deploying on bare vms or EC2 instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about AWS Fargate? I think in general is a very helpful tool and easy to understand. The dashboard is very intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering AWS Fargate: I highly recommend Fargate over other tools provided by amazon because it removes the administration and overthinking that you would do in any other scenario, it removes the scalation problems and the restarts. It's super easy to monitor and all the logs are available right in the Fargate dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is AWS Fargate solving and how is that benefiting you? Having the chance to deploy containers easily without doing it in instances I think it's amazing, not having to manage instances or even the containers, all is automated when containers fail when you need to scale and you are one step lower of EKS. EKS can sometimes be hard to manage or use it and you don't want to go there if you only have a little number of containers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
