AWS re:Invent 2019: [REPEAT 1] AWS Fargate under the hood (CON423-R1)

AWS Fargate is a completely serverless, container-native compute experience on AWS. Fargate doesn’t require users to provision, scale, and manage any servers. Under the hood of Fargate, there is a sophisticated architecture where AWS is innovating both vertically to build a container-optimized virtualization platform and horizontally to build the right integrations with surrounding AWS services to take care of undifferentiated heavy lifting for the developer. In this session, learn from senior engineers how AWS Fargate is designed to deliver a scalable, secure, serverless developer experience with containers.

thank you

Amazing info under the hood of fargate. Only concern is the guest os inside firecracker on host os, won't it add additional overhead as containers were designed to avoid os virtualization in the first place.

How such an awesome talk only has a few comments, I will never understand - cracking coverage - thank you.

I've used Fargate and found it extremely slow and sluggish compared to ec2 launch mode

[@Rahul4upce]

Is it just the start up you mention about. Any solution for this from AWS , as they mention if you run many pods in parallel it may be better. Reason for slowness is they have to spin off a vm / microvm under the hood.

[@alivepenmods]

@@Rahul4upce though she says in the talk that pre-provisioned VMs are waiting for work to avoid the VM spawning overhead.
