Noob here. I hear ECS, EKS, and Fargate. Can someone explain whats the difference between them and when to use one over another. Thanks.

ELI5: do you want to manage EC2 nodes and run containers on them? Use ECS (until you outgrow it. Why not... it is the cheapest of the three.)

Do you want to run Kubernetes in production, but afraid to do it yourself? (You probably know already who you are...) Container clusters composed of EC2 nodes, but joining the rest of the civilized world whose dev team thinks in the abstractions of K8S? Use EKS, today's announcement is for you.

Do you absolutely not want to manage EC2 nodes, but want to run containers? Use Fargate. Coming soon, Fargate for EKS will reunify the two threads.

Awesome Thanks.
