Fargate is more analogous to EC2 than ECS or EKS. Fargate is a placement target for containers, just like EC2 instances in a cluster would be. You use ECS and EKS to define and schedule tasks/containers on a placement target. The primary difference between Fargate and EC2 is that with Fargate you don't need to manage physical instances and the software stack running on them (Docker daemon, etc). When you start a task, it runs...somewhere. In the AWS "cloud".
