Summary

In this chapter, we introduced the Fargate launch type as used with an ECS cluster. We created a cluster, including container, task, and service definitions, using a Hello World Docker image. Subsequently, we invoked the Hello World application using the IPv4 public IP of the Elastic Network Interface associated with a task. Some of the container definition and task definition parameters are different for the Fargate launch type in comparison to the EC2 launch type, which is still available as an alternative with ECS. In the next chapter, we shall discuss integrating the CloudWatch Logs service with Fargate.
