Hi Mark, they are no necessarily related. You Kubernetes is comparable to ECS. Both are container orchestration tools and require you to set up a cluster of EC2 (in case of AWS) to work. Fargate is a compute engine that abstract those EC2 for you, that is, you don't have to set up any server, AWS will take care for you behind the scenes.

You can use Fargate with either ECS or EKS (Kubernetes managed by AWS).
