Feature Overview

Background: Customers that are already invested in using Fargate (majority of container workloads) and still catching up with EKS and OpenShift onpremise are looking to have a single pane of glass of management.

The same way ACM already manages EKS clusters, EKS + Fargate deployments can also be managed by ACM.  

Goals

ACM to support the management of EKS clusters with Fargate profiles to be added as another platform.

Requirements

Deploy aCM Hub

Deploy EKS cluster with Fargate profile

Create Fargate profile for app workloads

Create Fargate profile for ACM workloads (klusterlet, addons, etc)
 

Assumptions

EKS + Fargate is an EKS service at the end.

It can deploy containers and use the Kubernetes API. Then it can be managed by ACM.

Cannot manage Fargate with ECS because it is not based on k8s.

Customer Considerations

• Centralize container management in one tool. Single pane of glass.
