Here is a cheat sheet for AWS Fargate:
- Introduction: AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that runs your Docker containers without requiring you to manage the underlying EC2 instances.
- Launch Types: AWS Fargate offers two launch types: Fargate Launch Type and Fargate Spot Launch Type.
- Container Task Definition: A container task definition is a blueprint that describes your containers, including the Docker image to use, the CPU and memory requirements, and the network and security settings.
- Task Scheduling: You can use Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) to schedule tasks in Fargate.
- Security: AWS Fargate provides built-in security features, including automatic container isolation and Amazon VPC network segmentation.
- Networking: AWS Fargate integrates with Amazon VPC, allowing you to control the network traffic between your containers and other network components, such as Amazon RDS instances or Amazon S3 buckets.
- Monitoring: AWS Fargate integrates with Amazon CloudWatch to provide monitoring and logging for your containers.
- Cost: AWS Fargate charges you for the amount of vCPU and memory resources that your containers use, as well as for any data transfers.
How It Works
Here’s an overview of how AWS Fargate works:
- Container Task Definition: You create a container task definition, which is a blueprint that describes your container, including the Docker image to use, the CPU and memory requirements, and the network and security settings.
- Task Scheduling: You use Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) to schedule tasks in Fargate. You specify the number of containers to run and the desired CPU and memory resources for each container.
- Container Deployment: AWS Fargate deploys your containers on a cluster of Amazon EC2 instances, using the task definition and scheduling information you provide.
- Container Execution: AWS Fargate runs your containers and automatically manages the underlying EC2 instances, including provisioning, patching, and scaling.
- Monitoring: AWS Fargate integrates with Amazon CloudWatch to provide monitoring and logging for your containers. You can use CloudWatch to view logs, set alarms, and create dashboards to monitor the health and performance of your containers.
- Security: AWS Fargate provides built-in security features, including automatic container isolation and Amazon VPC network segmentation. You can also use AWS security services, such as Amazon GuardDuty and Amazon S3, to further secure your containers.
Use Case
AWS Fargate has several use cases, including:
- Microservices: AWS Fargate is ideal for deploying microservices, as it allows you to run multiple containers as a single task, making it easy to manage and scale your applications.
- Event-Driven Applications: AWS Fargate can run containers in response to events, such as changes in data or incoming requests. This makes it a good choice for event-driven applications, such as image processing or order processing.
- Batch Processing: AWS Fargate can run batch processing jobs, such as data analytics or data migration, in a serverless environment. This eliminates the need to manage and scale EC2 instances, reducing the operational overhead of running batch jobs.
- Serverless Applications: AWS Fargate can be used to build and run serverless applications, such as REST APIs or web applications, without having to manage and scale EC2 instances.
- CI/CD Pipelines: AWS Fargate can be used to run CI/CD pipelines, allowing you to build, test, and deploy your applications faster and more efficiently.
AWS Fargate Network
AWS Fargate network is a network solution for containers that allows you to run containers in a serverless environment. It provides a layer of abstraction between your containers and the underlying infrastructure, freeing you from the need to manage EC2 instances and network configurations.
With AWS Fargate network, you can easily run containers in a virtual private cloud (VPC), allowing you to securely connect to other AWS services and resources. AWS Fargate provides automatic container isolation, ensuring that your containers are isolated from each other and from the underlying infrastructure.
AWS Fargate network also integrates with Amazon VPC, allowing you to use VPC features such as security groups, network access control lists (ACLs), and VPC peering. You can also use AWS security services, such as Amazon GuardDuty and Amazon S3, to further secure your containers.
AWS Fargate Compliance
WS Fargate is compliant with several industry standards and regulations, including:
- SOC (Service Organization Control) reports: AWS Fargate is SOC compliant, meaning that it undergoes regular audits and assessments to ensure that it meets the security, availability, and confidentiality requirements for financial, healthcare, and other sensitive information.
- PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard): AWS Fargate is PCI DSS compliant, meaning that it meets the requirements for securely processing, storing, and transmitting credit card information.
- HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act): AWS Fargate can be used to host and process electronic protected health information (ePHI), making it suitable for healthcare applications that require HIPAA compliance.
- ISO (International Organization for Standardization): AWS Fargate is ISO compliant, meaning that it meets the requirements for a range of quality, environmental, and information security management standards.
AWS Fargate Pricing
AWS Fargate pricing is based on the resources you consume, such as CPU and memory usage. There are no upfront costs or long-term commitments required, and you only pay for what you use.
Here are some of the factors that impact AWS Fargate pricing:
- Task or Launch Type: You can choose between two launch types: Fargate or EC2. Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers, while EC2 provides a traditional EC2 instance. The launch type you choose will impact the price you pay for AWS Fargate.
- CPU and Memory Usage: You are charged for the CPU and memory resources that your containers consume. The more resources you use, the higher the cost.
- Number of Tasks: The number of tasks that you run will impact the cost of AWS Fargate.
- Data Transfer: If your containers need to transfer data in or out of the AWS network, you will be charged for data transfer.
