You can do the same thing (just run a horizontally scalable container for me with per-second billing) on AWS Fargate: https://aws.amazon.com/fargate/

It will also support Kubernetes pods next year.

Disclaimer: I work for AWS.

It will be great to have Fargate as a provider for the virtual kubelet along with Azure (and I forgot to mention Hyper.sh). Do you know if AWS plan to build a virtual kubelet provider themselves or let the community?

What's the startup time like with fargate? Is it in the region of a few seconds, or is it more like minutes?

I’ve read reports of fargate startup times around 45s. Not fast, but not terribly slow either.

Thanks, that really helps place it in terms of where it might fit with my workflow.
