Amazon Fargate
Amazon Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that works with both Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS. Fargate removes the need to provision and manage servers, letting you specify and pay for resources per application, and improves security through application isolation by design.
Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.
API Evangelist profiles Amazon Fargate the way a machine reads it — 97 machine-readable artifacts across 6 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Amazon Fargate scores 47.6/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 31/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Amazon Fargate
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Amazon Fargate. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 6
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
Amazon Fargate Account Settings API
Operations for managing account-level settings
Amazon Fargate Clusters API
Operations for creating and managing ECS clusters
Amazon Fargate Services API
Operations for deploying and managing long-running services
Amazon Fargate Tagging API
Operations for tagging ECS resources
Amazon Fargate Task Definitions API
Operations for registering and managing task definitions
Amazon Fargate Tasks API
Operations for running and managing Fargate tasks
Postman Collections 1
A runnable collection turns the contract into something a developer can execute in seconds. We profile them because the fastest way to trust an API is to make a real call against it.
Ready-to-run Postman collections for exercising this provider's APIs.

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Arazzo Workflows 9
Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.
Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.
Amazon Fargate Cluster Inventory Audit
Enumerate clusters, describe one, then list its services and running tasks.
ARAZZOAmazon Fargate Decommission a Cluster
Scale a service to zero and delete it, then delete the cluster once it has no active services.
ARAZZOAmazon Fargate Deploy a Service
Register a task definition, create a Fargate service, and poll until the running count meets the desired count.
ARAZZOAmazon Fargate Provision and Run a Task
Create a cluster, register a Fargate task definition, run a task, and poll until it reaches RUNNING.
ARAZZOAmazon Fargate Roll Out a Service Update
Register a new task definition revision, update a service to it, and poll until the deployment is steady.
ARAZZOAmazon Fargate Run a Batch Task to Completion
Run a one-off Fargate task and poll DescribeTasks until it reaches STOPPED.
ARAZZOAmazon Fargate Run the Latest Task Definition
Find the latest active revision of a task definition family, describe it, and run a task from it.
ARAZZOAmazon Fargate Stop a Task and Confirm
Find a running task in a cluster, stop it, and poll DescribeTasks until it is STOPPED.
ARAZZOAmazon Fargate Tear Down a Service
Scale a service to zero, wait for it to drain, then delete it.

Pricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.
Amazon Fargate Rate Limits
RATE LIMITSFinOps 1
Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Semantic Vocabularies 1
JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Security Posture 3
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.

The organization behind the API
← All providers · Data indexed from github.com/api-evangelist/amazon-fargate · machine-readable index on apis.io
This is an independent, third-party profile of Amazon Fargate, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
