What this card says

Why do we need it?

Picking Kubernetes when you only need a Docker web API wastes weeks of ops.

What is it?

Lambda: short event work (≤15 min). ECS: long-running containers and familiar Docker. EKS: full Kubernetes API when you already live in k8s.

How to do it

Start student labs on ECS Fargate. Move to EKS only when the job needs kubectl/Helm.

Prefer Fargate labs

Example

A Node API that must stay warm for hours belongs on ECS, not on a 15-minute Lambda.
