Forgetting Fargate there?

I literally mentioned Fargate in the same comment:

>> It would hopefully feel more similar to using Fargate than not, except without paying the higher price for Fargate, and having access to the wider variety of hardware configurations available to regular ECS.

If you're using an ECS Fargate Cluster or EKS Fargate Cluster, I don't consider those the same as an ECS Cluster or EKS Cluster. Unfortunately, there's no specific term commonly used for non-Fargate Clusters that I know of. AWS offers ECS Clusters and ECS Fargate Clusters.

If you were legitimately confused by my comment, I’m sorry. I could have said "non-Fargate" repeatedly, if it would have helped, but I thought the context made things clear, especially with the additional explicit mention of Fargate as a separate thing.

I refer to it as fargate compute or ec2 compute. It’s not a cluster level thing, you can have clusters with both fargate and ec2 for your compute.

Like most of the rest of AWS product people and AWS users do, IME.
