An ECS cluster, with support for capacity provider FARGATE, is essential in order to run tasks with
“Launchtype=AWS Fargate“.
The ECS task definition for our Fargate JIT runner will be covered in a future post.
For now, we create a cluster with name fargate-cluster:
$ aws ecs create-cluster \
--cluster-name fargate-cluster \
--capacity-providers FARGATE FARGATE_SPOTThe output returns details for the cluster, including name, ARN, and capacity providers.
