Does this skill support Graviton/ARM architecture?

Yes, it provides configuration patterns for AWS Graviton (ARM64), which typically offers 20% better price-performance compared to standard x86 architectures.

When should I choose Fargate over EC2?

Choose Fargate for operational simplicity, microservices, and variable loads. Choose EC2 for steady-state workloads requiring specific instance types (like GPUs) or where you need full control over the underlying host.

How much can I save using Fargate Spot?

Fargate Spot offers up to a 70% discount compared to on-demand pricing. It is ideal for fault-tolerant workloads like batch processing, CI/CD, or development environments.

Can Fargate tasks access persistent storage?

Yes, Fargate supports persistent storage through Amazon EFS (Elastic File System). This skill includes implementation guides for mounting EFS volumes to your container tasks.
