I guess the question is why would you want to use EC2 instances over Fargate.
I suppose learning and configuring docker is a factor.
Another one could cost. EC2 could be more cost-effective than Fargate.

Either way, it's good to explore different ways to do things.

My problem is that fargate tasks are limited to 30GB of memory, but I need to run a really huge R job.
