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

What's new at AWS 📢

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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