I'm actually going to skip most of your reply to this: > Fargate is the only reasonable abstraction I have seen so far on this front. This is the starting point (actually Azure [0] and DigitalOcean [1] are even simpler), not setting up an autoscaling group of ec2 instances and considering resource usage. If you build on top of any of those three platforms, you write a dockerfile, write a service file, and point DNS at a load balancer and you're done.
