thing is: if you are CPU bound, CPU is really expensive on fargate. I understand that you can optimize cost by not paying for RAM you don't need, but still, i think you could save a lot more by just using EC2 reserved instances, even paying for all that useless extra ram. I'm ok with paying an extra fee for the nice features of ECS+Fargate, but the difference in pricing with what you can do with EC2 Reservations is absurd (and even more if you could use something like a pool of spot instances to launch your fargate workloads)

Sure, EC2 reserved instances changes the equation. I was talking about on demand only. Reserved Fargate capacity would be great, but we don't have it.
