Using Fargate for compute on the Elastic Container Service isn't the cheapest approach but it works well for many cases. Fargate bills can be bloated for many reasons including just using defaults and forgetting to optimize. For example launching with "1 vCPU, 2 GB" to start and a year later this is still way more than you need and costing real money every single month. The article below discusses a number of concrete waste patterns from a production SaaS, with before and after numbers attached. Right-sizing based on CloudWatch data, mixing in Fargate Spot for stateless services, killing scale-in thrashing, scheduling dev environments off at night, and more. Chirag Mehta runs infrastructure at Pinnnng and discusses how a 42% reduction took one engineer roughly three days. Check it out if you're using Fargate and want some optimization tips. lckhd.eu/lHNDW8 #Fargate #ECS #Finops #CostSavings

But you will lose global cdn/ edge network with this .... Also I don't like to host forntend or full stacks in a single vm..... I will consider using Cloudflare workers if the budget is tight or AWS cloudfront ecs with fargate if we are richy-rich

Tomorrow, 3pm. Outside HMV at the bottom of Fargate in Sheffield. See you there, you tubby soft cunt?

Oh im really glad i didn't go near fargate earlier

Just wrapped up 37 important AWS hands-on tasks that every DevOps Engineer and Cloud Engineer should complete or at least understand. It took me 4 months to finish all of them. From networking, security, storage, databases, and monitoring to CI/CD, containers, serverless, and Kubernetes—every single task helped me build a deeper understanding of how AWS services work together in real-world environments. The biggest takeaway wasn’t learning individual services; it was understanding how to design, secure, automate, monitor, and troubleshoot complete cloud solutions. Every task was worth the effort, and the depth of knowledge gained is something no course or certification alone can provide. Now it’s time to go even deeper. 🚀 ✅ Built custom VPCs with Public/Private Subnets, Route Tables & Internet Gateways ✅ Configured VPC Peering and updated Route Tables for cross-VPC communication ✅ Connected multiple VPCs using Transit Gateway (TGW) ✅ Deployed NAT Gateways with Elastic IPs for secure outbound internet access from private subnets ✅ Created VPC Gateway & Interface Endpoints for private access to S3 and SSM ✅ Enabled VPC Flow Logs and stored network traffic logs in S3 ✅ Implemented Security Groups (stateful) and NACLs (stateless) for network security ✅ Automated AMI creation using HashiCorp Packer ✅ Created EC2 Launch Templates with bootstrap User Data scripts ✅ Deployed ALBs & NLBs with path-based routing and cross-zone load balancing ✅ Configured Auto Scaling Groups with CloudWatch-driven dynamic scaling ✅ Implemented Route 53 routing policies: • Failover • Latency-Based • Weighted • Geolocation ✅ Provisioned, formatted, and mounted EBS volumes on Linux EC2 instances ✅ Deployed EFS for shared storage across multiple EC2 instances ✅ Configured FSx Windows File Server integrated with Active Directory ✅ Hosted static websites on S3 with CloudFront CDN and ACM SSL certificates ✅ Mounted S3 buckets as local Linux directories using s3fs-fuse ✅ Implemented S3 Access Points with fine-grained IAM and Bucket Policies ✅ Created Lifecycle Policies to move old data to Glacier Deep Archive ✅ Deployed Multi-AZ RDS MySQL and loaded sample datasets ✅ Built Serverless APIs using Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB ✅ Launched Redshift clusters, queried S3 datasets, and visualized insights with QuickSight ✅ Created IAM Users, Groups, Custom Policies & Permission Boundaries ✅ Implemented Cross-Account Access using IAM Roles and STS ✅ Integrated AWS Managed Microsoft AD with IAM Identity Center (SSO) ✅ Provisioned Amazon WorkSpaces VDI environments ✅ Configured AWS WAF Web ACLs and IP-based/Geo-based filtering ✅ Managed EC2 instances using Systems Manager Run Command & Parameter Store ✅ Installed CloudWatch Agent and configured custom monitoring & SNS alerts ✅ Automated remediation and snapshot scheduling with EventBridge & Lambda ✅ Tracked configuration changes using AWS Config ✅ Built end-to-end CI/CD pipelines with: Cloud9 → CodeCommit → CodeBuild → CodeDeploy → CodePipeline ✅ Performed Rolling & Canary Deployments using Elastic Beanstalk ✅ Containerized applications with Docker, pushed images to ECR, and deployed on ECS EC2 ✅ Deployed serverless containers using ECS Fargate ✅ Hosted React applications with AWS Amplify CI/CD ✅ Built Amazon EKS clusters and deployed multi-tier microservices applications #AWS #DevOps #CloudComputing #CloudEngineer #AWSSAA #Kubernetes #Docker #EKS #ECS #Terraform #LearningInPublic

Fargate, 楽なんすよね...！

Tram stop at middle of Fargate

k8s / Swarm / RancherOS(k3s)出た頃はめっちゃ推してて勉強会もやってた。 けどk8sはあまりにも学習コストが高すぎて エンジニアが採用できないとかビジネスも考えると Fargateに落ち着く。 個人的にはFargateよりもうCloudflareから戻れない AWSはもうみんな卒業🎓

SIer案件でありがちな「とりあえずEC2😇」。 でもLambdaやFargateのほうが運用コスト下がること多い。 要件を分解して“本当にEC2必要？”を見直すだけで設計の質が変わる。 #SIer #クラウド運用

I'd say Fargate, farscape is a shorter run, Stargate you got like 15 seasons and some movies, don't bother with sgu.

Its obviously Fargate...

Resquiescat in pace, sanity will not survive. Stay home and binge Fargate instead. Save yourself

Why is Fargate not on this list? After all the hard work done by @Nerdrotics and @heelvsbabyface and @MauLer93 to raise awareness, you're just going to ignore it?

Fargate

What no Fargate option??

Fargate, the goodbye bulubu arc, ask Az about it. Fargate is what Blade Runner could be if it were more philosophical, Star Trek could be if it had more moral lessons, and Star Wars if Disney had kept their damn dirty hands off it.

You beat me to it. Side note: I thought Fargate was the term for the Bowder/Black Stargate years.
