Estimate ECS Fargate costs for x86 and ARM with Spot pricing, ephemeral storage, and Compute Savings Plans.
20 GB included free. Additional storage charged at $0.000111/GB/hour.
Fargate is serverless: you define CPU/memory per task and AWS manages the underlying infrastructure. EC2 launch type gives you control over the EC2 instances in your cluster, offering lower cost at the expense of operational overhead. Fargate is ideal for teams that want to focus on application code without managing servers.
AWS Graviton processors deliver up to 20% lower cost and up to 40% better price-performance compared to x86 instances. Most containerized workloads can run on ARM with multi-arch Docker images. Graviton is recommended for new workloads unless you have x86-specific dependencies.
Fargate Spot runs tasks on spare capacity at up to 70% discount. Tasks may be interrupted with a 2-minute warning. Best for fault-tolerant workloads like batch processing, queue workers, and CI/CD jobs. Not recommended for user-facing services that require consistent availability.
Savings Plans commit to a consistent amount of compute usage ($/hour) for 1 or 3 years. 1-year No Upfront offers ~22% discount; 3-year All Upfront offers ~52% discount. They apply automatically to Fargate (and Lambda/EC2) usage and are flexible across regions, instance types, and OS.
Output will appear here...The ECS/Fargate Cost Estimator calculates monthly costs for running containers on AWS Fargate, covering both x86 and ARM (Graviton) processor architectures. It factors in vCPU and memory pricing, ephemeral storage beyond the 20 GB default, Spot pricing for fault-tolerant workloads, and Compute Savings Plans discounts. The tool provides side-by-side comparisons to help you choose the most cost-effective configuration.
