3. Todays agenda ECS and Fargate overview Common use-cases Customer use-cases Summary

4. ECS

5. Container Orchestration Fully managed container orchestrator No control plane to upgrade Built in auto scaling Self-healing It enables you to easily run, scale, and secure Docker container applications on AWS.

6. Key features Fully Managed No need to operate your own cluster management infrastructure. High Performance Optimized for running containerized. Seamless Integration Integrates with other AWS services.

7. Fargate

8. Serverless Containers Serverless-( ish ) Managed by AWS. No EC2 instances to mange or scale. Simple operations model. Secure Isolated and patched by AWS. Cost-efficient Elastic, scale to your need Granular resource allocation. Nothing to patch or mange.

9. Sharing is not caring Each Fargate task has its own isolation and don’t share any underlying, kernel, CPU, memory, ENI, etc.

10. Graviton Run containers on ARM based CPU Best price / performance metric Fargate enable easy migration

11. Common use cases

12. Batch processing Run tasks on-demand As target for EventBridge Easy to scale Cost-Efficient

13. Machine learning Serverless inference Easy to deploy and scale Cost efficient

14. CI/CD Runner for GitHub / GitLab Scale as needed

15. Other Use-cases Web applications / microservice backend IoT applications Application migration Development environments

16. Customer use cases

17. FinTech startup Market leader in unsecured loans Small development team Migrated application micro-service backend to Fargate and Graviton. 22% cost reduction Reduced operational overhead

18. Global Enterprise IoT backend – 10 th of thousands of devices CI/CD runners Self-hosted GitLab runners Reduces operational overhead Migrated 95% to Graviton

19. eSport Startup Startup – very small development team Remove operational overhead Focus on business logic Migrated to Graviton – 27% cost reduction
