India is a democracy with a free press; so the numbers are more trustable. India has low numbers because they are handling the crisis better. See: https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2020/03/05/kerala-

I tried Fargate and found it to be crappy. It is very hard to use. It is proprietary, so your app will not be portable, and your knowledge and experience will not be portable either. If you use Kubernetes there is tons of tutorials, your ap
