If you account for engineering effort, Fargate is cheaper than EC2. No central logging or log exfiltration to configure, no bin packing apps onto AMIs, no SSH to set up or keys to manage, no configuration management, no process management to worry about, etc. Just put your app into an image and write the CF templates for your cluster, services, and task definition and you’re good to go.
