  • Reviewers mention that AWS Fargate's orchestration capabilities, with a score of 8.6, are particularly strong, allowing for efficient management of containerized applications.

Pricing part of aws fargate is a little complex you can check thier document for more info. You willl have less control over your infrastructure as aws allocate and deallocate the containers independently low level stuff is handled by aws only.
