Deploying a Fargate Windows-Based Task
In this chapter, we will learn about serverless Windows containers powered by AWS Fargate. First, we will dive deep into how Fargate works, followed by its benefits and Windows use cases. Next, we will understand how Fargate Windows-based tasks behave differently from Linux and what needs to be considered when planning serverless Windows containers. By the end, we will deploy a Fargate Windows-based task into the existing ECS cluster we provisioned in Chapter 4. This chapter will cover the following topics:
- AWS Fargate overview
- Planning for serverless Windows containers
- AWS Fargate Windows-based task use cases
- Scheduling a Fargate Windows-based task definition with Terraform
