Support AWS Fargate #4319

Open canercandan opened 6 years ago

canercandan commented 6 years ago

AWS announced today their new service Fargate to build containers following an on-demand pricing model pretty much similar to S3.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to build a driver to deploy containers on Fargate, maybe there is room for using the existing EC2 driver to build something. Thanks.

From taking a look at the guts of this project and the fargate docs, I don't think this is something docker machine should be doing: it seems like it's goal is to abstract creating a machine that can be ssh-ed into and run docker commands on, which is exactly what Fargate, and for the latter ECS in general is abstracting. That is, (AFAICT) Fargate doesn't expose the EC2 instances, let alone the docker daemon that are running the ECS tasks that are created.
