Question about Fargate vs ec2

Hello MaryJ,

You can setup ECS service autoscaling to scale up/down your ECS fargate service desired count based on your resource utilization.

If you need your Web API to be constantly available at all times even during minimum load, you can set the minimum count to 1. This will make sure that atleast 1 task is running at all times.

During heavy load, the above mentioned ECS service autoscaling feature will scale up your desired count as needed, and scale it down to 1 during no load.
