Tell us about your request It would be good to have support for using AWS Fargate for running Docker Container Workloads managed by AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Is this request specific to an Elastic Beanstalk platform? Multi Container Docker (and ideally, Single container Docker if thats not too hard)

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? As part of running cost effective prototypes and flexible workloads on Elastic Beanstalk it would be ideal to run some Docker based deployments with Fargate.

Additional context Since MultiContainer Docker based deployments are built on top of AWS ECS, it would seem that it should not be a huge development task to add support for using an additional capability of the underlying ECS platform, namely running the Elastic Beanstalk managed ECS, on Fargate rather than on an EC2 based ECS cluster.

Either this, or get AWS AppRunner have feature parity with AWS Beanstalk

@michaelbrewer what features are your looking for on App Runner?

[michaelbrewer]

@akshayram-wolverine - VPC support (to be able to access internal resources or have a private internal api), Scale-to-zero (to allow for idle projects to have zero cost), Buildpack support (to allow for Java support or BYO custom configurations), Secrets support etc..

Thank you so much! We are tracking these feature requests on the App Runner roadmap.
