Approachability-wise, wouldn't an even better approach be to drop ECS Fargate (in terms of API) and simply add to EC2 the ability to execute Docker images, instead of AMIs?
Feels like if AWS started with dedicated boxes, they'd now be calling EC2 the "Elastic VM Service Fargate".
- jon-wood 7y agoRunning Docker images directly on EC2 instances is also supported by ECS, in fact it the first iteration of ECS required you to run a cluster of EC2 instances. The API to do so is identical to the one used for Fargate.
- digianarchist 7y agoRight but with ECS on EC2 you are still responsible for maintaining the underlying AMI. Security patches etc. This was the major reason we wanted to move to Fargate in our org.
