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.

CSR 3 Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/22/2020 "AWS Fargate Is Good Stuff" 5/5 What do you like best about AWS Fargate? The fact that you don't have to manage any underlying server resources, just deploy your containerized job descriptions and AWS will take care of the rest Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about AWS Fargate? The primary complaint that you will see people have is lack of persistent storage with AWS fargate. This has been somewhat remedied, as they now allow you to mount an EFS (Elastic File System) share into a Fargate container. This is more expensive than regular EBS volumes (which are not supported in fargate yet) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is AWS Fargate solving and how is that benefiting you? Fargate solves the issue of configuring / managing servers. We are able to directly put manpower towards our end result, rather than using it to make sure servers are healthy.

"Not what you are searching for if you need an EFS attached to your containers" 3.5/5 What do you like best about AWS Fargate? We started using Fargate due to the need of executing several tasks with a queue management. We divide our tasks between those tasks that don't need high amount of resources and can be executed in Fargate, and those that have a huge computational cost and we execute them in AWS Batch. We were able to integrate the deploy of the docker images in charge of executing our tasks in our git CI pipeline in an easy way. In addition, it's not really expensive compared to other services like google cloud or Azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about AWS Fargate? Incompatibility with EFS. We needed to replace AWS Fargate for AWS Batch due to incompatibility of Fargate to attach EFS to the containers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering AWS Fargate: Useful if you need to execute a large number of concurrent tasks. Is not the solution you need if you need to attach an EFS to the containers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is AWS Fargate solving and how is that benefiting you? Execute high demand tasks fast. Thanks to AWS Fargate, we don't need to take care of servers configuration, autoscaling and task queuing. It's easy to deploy a new task deploying your docker image to Fargate.

Founder & CEO Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/6/2019 "Fargate is a good entry point for scalable backends" 4/5 What do you like best about AWS Fargate? The best thing about Fargate is that you can just start out of the gate without setting up servers. Other than Kubernetes or ECS you don't have to run your own servers but it is all managed in a Blackbox for you by AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about AWS Fargate? Fargate is a good bit pricier than running your own servers. Naturally you can also not select much in terms of the operating system, but in reality that almost never matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering AWS Fargate: Run the numbers to make sure it is the best option for you considering the alternatives (ECS + EKS). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is AWS Fargate solving and how is that benefiting you? Deploying an app without having to configure servers. Also whenever you want to be scalable Fargate is ideal as it starts new instances quicker than you would with K8 or ECS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Fargate allows you to run containers without managing servers or clusters.It gives you freedom of not choosing the server type and managing clusters.It lets you focus on designing and building clusters instead of managing vm's of servers.It comes in 2 modes fargate launch type and ec2 launch type.The prior one allows you to just design the containers choose the CPU requirement and create IAM policies and memory management and then finally launch the application.The later one ec2-launch type haves you to have more server level granular control over your application.The fargate has many benefits like freedom of not choosing cluster,easily scalable container and easy integration with ec2-instance.

I am using amazon AWS fargate with ec2-instance for developing containers for application specific services.It gives us freedom of not managing servers and clusters instead focus fully on developing the container and then just specify basic configuration of container like cpu,memory,networking and then launch the application.It has served its purpose at its best.
