One potential con, depending on your workload, is that Fargate has more restrictive cpu/memory limits. So if you need more than 8 vCPUs per container, Fargate may be a bad fit.

That said, the savings in time may allow you to rework your code to need less cpu.

4 vcpu 🙂

Haha, whoops! Thanks Kenny!

It’s be great to have 8. When you said that I got excited since we’d love more vcpu per node.

I've recently run into this... but yes - refactoring code and fixing hotspots quickly addressed that

Thanks for the input, all. I think I’ll let the Fargate idea pass since we have been running with a decent setup of EKS + EC2 + Chef + Terraform and the cost savings might only be marginal if any.
