AWS Fargate Components
Here is the key components of fargate in the AWS:
- Task Definition: A blueprint that describes how a container should run, including Docker container settings, CPU and memory requirements, networking configurations, and data volumes.
- Task: An instantiation of a task definition that represents a running container or a group of containers that share resources and configuration specified in the task definition.
- Cluster: A logical grouping of tasks and services. It acts as the resource pool for running tasks, providing isolation and resource management.
- Service: A managed service that ensures a specified number of tasks are running and maintains desired state, such as scaling tasks up or down based on demand.
- Container: A standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies so the application runs reliably across different computing environments.
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.
