Scaling Jenkins on Serverless using AWS ECS Fargate.
AWS blogs cover scaling Jenkins with ECS Fargate but miss the features, why, and need. My presentation fills that gap, explaining the architecture's benefits.

Hello AWS Community Readers,
AWS Blogs have excellent resources for this problem statement.
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/building-a-serverless-jenkins-environment-on-aws-fargate/
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/devops-with-serverless-jenkins-and-aws-cloud-development-kit-aws-cdk/
While these blogs cover the architecture and technical concepts clearly, some understanding like why the design decision is better? the constraints like cost, availability and features can be expanded upon more.
I created a quick interactive presentation which distills the above blog posts and highlights how we can have Jenkins deployed in a serverless manner with High availability and auto scaling configured, with a cost effective way by leveraging Spot Fleet on Fargate.
this can be viewed/accessed over here: Scaling Jenkins on Serverless using Spot instances on Fargate
Do check it out and let me know your thoughts.
HTH,
Thanks!
