AWS Fargate Simulator

What is AWS Fargate?

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that eliminates the need to manage servers. It works with Amazon ECS and EKS.

Key Components:

• Task Definition: Blueprint that defines your application (containers, resources, networking)
• Container: Packaging of your application code and dependencies
• Task: Instance of a Task Definition, runs one or more containers
• Service: Maintains and scales multiple tasks, provides auto-healing
• VPC & Subnets: Network infrastructure where Fargate runs
• Security Groups: Virtual firewalls controlling traffic
• Load Balancer: Distributes traffic to your Fargate tasks

How To Use This Simulator:

1. Drag components from the sidebar to the workspace
2. Connect related components (e.g., container → task definition)
3. Configure each component in the inspector panel
4. Run your Fargate setup to see it in action
5. Monitor resources and costs

Tips:

• Build in this order: Container → Task Definition → Task/Service → Network components
• You need to associate each task with a VPC, subnet, and security group
• For high availability, deploy tasks across multiple subnets
• Use a load balancer for services with multiple tasks
