Amazon EC2 vs. AWS Fargate
Here is the key features of amazon ec2 and aws fargate.
Feature | Amazon EC2 | AWS Fargate |
---|---|---|
Infrastructure | Requires manual provisioning and management of EC2 instances | Abstracts away infrastructure management, no need to manage EC2 instances |
Scalability | Scalability is manual and based on EC2 instance capacity | Auto-scaling based on container requirements, more dynamic |
Pricing Model | Pay for EC2 instance usage, regardless of resource utilization | Granular billing per vCPU and memory per second for Fargate |
Difference Between AWS (Amazon Web Services) ECS And AWS Fargate
While both AWS ECS and Fargate play in the container orchestration field, their approaches diverge like two paths on a mountain trail. ECS empowers you with direct control over the underlying infrastructure, like an experienced builder crafting a custom container home. You choose and manage the bricks and mortar (EC2 instances) for a personalized container environment. On the other hand, Fargate takes the “ready-to-move-in” route, handling the infrastructure behind the scenes like a well-equipped concierge. You simply focus on your containers, leaving the server management to Fargate. The choice comes down to whether you seek control of a hands-on builder or the ease of a pre-built haven for your containerized applications.
