# [[AWS Fargate]] [site](https://aws.amazon.com/fargate) AWS Fargate is a [[Serverless computing|serverless compute]] engine for containers. It changes the distribution model entirely so that instead of needing to provision _servers_, you only need to think about the _applications_. Fargate seems to be a management layer that abstracts away some of the complexity of container orchestration. However, it still needs either [[AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service|EKS]] or [[AWS Elastic Container Service|ECS]] in the background.  _Source: [AWS](URL: https://aws.amazon.com/fargate)_
