AWS Fargate Service Deletion Recommendations for Amazon ECS

This Recommendation identifies unused or idle AWS Fargate services that should be deleted to eliminate unnecessary costs, based on AWS Trusted Advisor recommendations.

What it identifies

• Fargate services with no recent task executions
• Idle Fargate services that are running but not processing workloads
• Services that have been inactive for extended periods
• Delete recommendations from AWS Trusted Advisor for unused Fargate services

Key features

• Uses AWS Trusted Advisor's c1z7kmr06n check filtered for delete actions

• Focuses specifically on eliminating costs from idle Fargate infrastructure

Cost impact

The recommendation calculates potential monthly savings from deleting unused Fargate services, helping you eliminate all ongoing costs associated with idle container infrastructure including CPU, memory, and data transfer charges.
