AmazonECS now supports AWS Graviton-based Spot compute with AWS Fargate Spot

What's new at AWS 📢

âš• #AmazonECS now supports AWS Graviton-based Spot compute with AWS Fargate Spot.

âš•AWS Graviton processors are custom-built by AWS to deliver the best price-performance for cloud workloads.

âš•This capability helps customers to run fault-tolerant Arm-based applications with up to 70% discount compared to Fargate prices.

âš•Since Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate enables customers to deploy and build workloads at scale in a serverless manner.

âš•In addition to that, with this feature, customers can further optimize for costs by running fault-tolerant Arm-based workloads on AWS Fargate Spot.

âš•To get started leveraging this feature:
💥 Configure task definition with cpu-architecture = ARM64
💥 Choose FARGATE_SPOT as the capacity provider.

âš•This new Fargate spot leverages the spare AWS Graviton-based compute capacity available in the AWS cloud for running service or task.

âš•This capability is now available on AWS Fargate platform version 1.4.0 or higher.

âš•Most importantly Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate capacity providers, supported to use both Fargate and Fargate Spot capacity with Amazon ECS tasks.
