AWS Fargate is "serverless" compute for containers. Ok...there are servers somewhere doing something, BUT you at least don't have to worry about managing infrastructure. It makes right-sizing considerably easier. Fargate is one of the deployment options for AWS Elastic Container Service. ECS is a container orchestrator like Kubernetes.
Watch the ClickOps version first to get an understanding of Fargate. This tutorial covers going from ClickOps to terraforming the same Fargate setup.
