What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?** I haven't done extensive benchmarks yet, but anecdotal "kicking the tires" of Fargate for EKS shows 30-45 seconds for a node to be created and registered; because it's node-per-pod, I then have to wait for image pull and container start time, so in total it's taking over a minute to start a new pod. This is problematic for obvious reasons; for some use-cases it's not a show-stopper, like HPA-based scaled deployments I'm OK with the startup time. For others, like a CI cluster for gitlab, the startup time is painful; each CI job spawns a new pod which takes "forever". **Are you currently working around this issue?** Currently just eating the startup
