Another managed orchestrator offered by AWS is Fargate. Unlike ECS, it does not require you to provision and pay for the underlying EC2 instances. The only components you are focused on are the containers, the network interfaces attached to them, and IAM permissions.
Fargate requires the least amount of maintenance compared to other solutions and is the easiest to learn. Autoscaling and load-balancing are available out of the box thanks to the existing AWS products in this space.
The main downside here is the premium that you pay for hosting your services when compared to ECS. A straight comparison is not possible as ECS requires paying for the EC2 instances, while Fargate requires paying for the memory and CPU usage independently. This lack of direct control over your cluster may easily lead to high costs once your services start to autoscale.
