https://lumigo.io/blog/comparing-amazon-ecs-launch-types-ec2... You can now specify your launch type to be an ec2 instance. This has the benefit of lower cost but you are responsible for managing the instances ex: security patches, etc.

Right, running ECS on EC2, not Fargate on EC2. When ECS launched it only had the EC2 launch type (where as you said you must manage your machines). Fargate then came along for both ECS and EKS where Amazon managed the machines for you.
