With EKS, Jassy said that users now have two container management systems that they can choose, the new Kubernetes service and the existing ECS system. Going a step further, Jassy also announced a new serverless approach to deploying containers as well, which is where the new AWS Fargate service comes into play.

“AWS Fargate allows you to run containers without having to manage servers or clusters,” Jassy said. “It totally changes the way that you can run containers.”
