I don’t think there’s a right answer - but I’ll admit my order of preference would be:
1. Use a managed offering (like Aurora)
2. EC2 via a well-known, well supported marketplace offering or AMI
3. Kubernetes 
4. Raw containers (Fargate)


:v: I want to deploy Neo4J and there is an AMI for it however I need to apply some customisations for it so the standard AMI is not good enough. Now the options are either build my own AMI or deploy a container using Fargate. :thinking_face:

Fargate currently has no options for persistent storage unfortunately. So I’m not sure there is any reliable way to use Fargate here. 

mmm thanks Luke. I think EC2 makes sense in this case.

If you only need modifications from the existing AMI, you could use the Packer EBS builder to customise it
