ECS vs. EKS vs. Fargate - Elastic Container Service vs Elastic Kubernetes Service vs AWS Fargate

AWS Fargate is a fully managed compute engine for running containers. It lets you run containers without the need to provision and manage the underlying EC2 instances. With Fargate, you only need to specify the desired number of containers and the resources needed for them, and Fargate will take care of the rest.

AWS ECS (Amazon Elastic Container Service) is a container orchestration service that makes it easier to run, scale, and manage containerized applications on AWS. It allows you to easily run, stop, and manage Docker containers on a cluster of EC2 instances. ECS also offers integration with Fargate, so you can use Fargate to run your ECS tasks and services.

AWS EKS (Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service) is a fully managed Kubernetes service that makes it easy to deploy, run, and manage containerized applications on AWS. It create and manage a Kubernetes cluster in AWS, and use it to run your containerized applications. Like ECS, EKS also offers integration with Fargate, so you can use EC2 or Fargate to run your EKS pods and containers.
