"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.

"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.

"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.

"you can rapidly deploy application by using AWS Fargate!! "
4/5
What do you like best about AWS Fargate?

i have been working with AWS Fargate for 1-2 years , and as a cloud architect it's a boon for me , as we all know currently companies are moving towards containers for developing and managing their applications , and for all that things the AWS fargate is the best solution , it also offers multiple container product to help you deploy and manage the container , do you know what it becomes so easy to scale up and scale down dynamically when you're using AWS Fargate , so that AWS users can easily run container work loads in production!!

"A new server less container solution for AWS!! "
4.5/5
What do you like best about AWS Fargate?

i have been using AWS Fargate for 1 year , it's a launch type within existing ECS(Elastic Container Service) , before introducing it most customer were running their application on AWS EC2 only , and that was really hard to configure and as a cloud architect you were supposed to mess up with so many things while deploying an application , but with AWS Fargate we can able to decouple the packaging of the application from the underlying OS, and it also enabled certain level of isolation between the different application running on a single OS ,it made the task of building cloud native application very easy!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Fargate?

it requires some amount of experience on Amazon EC2 and knowledge of some services , it's not that much easy to directly implement it!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Run Containers Without Hazzle Of Managing Servers."
5/5
What do you like best about AWS Fargate?

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.
