AWS Containers & Kubernetes

AWS Fargate

Serverless compute for containers: run ECS or EKS tasks without managing servers.

What it is used for

  • Containers without server maintenance
  • Spiky container workloads
  • Simple per-task billing

Equivalent on Google Cloud

The closest Google Cloud service is Cloud Run: runs containers as serverless services or jobs, scaling to zero when idle.

How DomainHostly helps with AWS Fargate

  • Plan: choose the right setup, size and region for your workload and budget.
  • Set up securely: configure AWS Fargate with least-privilege access, encryption and backups where they apply.
  • Migrate: move from shared hosting, your own servers or the other cloud with minimal downtime.
  • Run and optimise: monitoring, updates and regular cost reviews so you only pay for what you use.

Containers & Kubernetes: Run applications packaged as containers, with managed Kubernetes and container registries.

What to consider: Containers & Kubernetes

  • Keep images small and scanned; store them in a private registry close to where they run.
  • Choose serverless containers for a few services and Kubernetes when you run many services or need its ecosystem.
  • Set CPU and memory requests and autoscaling rules so you pay for what containers actually use.
