Disclosure: I work in AWS. First thanks for the feedback. We are listening closely and feedback (critical or otherwise) really helps us focus on what to build.

Disclosure: I work in AWS. First thanks for the feedback. We are listening closely and feedback (critical or otherwise) really helps us focus on what to build. We think of Fargate as simplicity, without compromising on capability. We don’t want price to be a barrier for customers to realize simpler operations models. We are thinking through additional pricing options for customers. We use open source where it matters for our customers and partners. For instance, we recently launched a new capability called FireLens (in preview) that uses Fluentd and Fluent Bit to help partners use a standard codebase and to help developers realize cost savings on logs. WRT lock in comments on this thread, I was a startup product manager in my past life. What really mattered to us was speed of execution and keeping our costs in control. Choose a product that helps you realize those goals (if they resonate with you), whether it is Kubernetes or ECS/Fargate.
