Explain the architectural difference between AWS ECS Fargate and Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service).

Core Summary

ECS and EKS are both orchestrators. Fargate isn't: it's a compute mode that either one can run on, so all four combinations exist. The real comparison is ECS vs EKS on who operates what, and Fargate vs EC2 on whether you want to own nodes at all.

Hint 1: Fargate is a launch type, not a competitor to EKS

Hint 2: Compare the control plane and who operates it

Hint 3: The deciding factor is usually team and portability, not technology
