An ECS-based licensing API team wants to avoid patching and managing container host instances. Which launch approach should they prefer?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Tired of patching the box under the containers? Fargate takes that host chore off the licensing API team's plate. EC2 launch type keeps them in the patching business; SSH-to-edge folklore is not a platform strategy.
Full Explanation
With AWS Fargate, AWS manages the underlying container host infrastructure, so application teams do not patch or scale EC2 instances for those tasks. The EC2 launch type for ECS leaves instance management with the customer. Preferring Fargate is appropriate when reducing operational overhead for container hosts is the priority. Ad-hoc edge SSH workflows and Dedicated Host mandates are not the standard answer to that goal.
