Which is an exact copy of the Joyent service from the year before :)

You mean Triton? I wouldn’t really call it an exact copy if so. There was a whole Linux syscall translation layer in there...
Copy in the sense of the product features, not the product implementation. Joyent has long provided a "run your container as a service" which IMHO is the best way for a small/medium to run container services. The whole create VM's to run containers creates a lot of extra work. Plus this could be great for teams doing data analysis, just spin up 100 containers for 30 seconds type of workloads.

The OP is short on details anyways, does Fargate run on a tuned xen vm's or do they have linux servers under there (or maybe they're SmartOS ;) ).
