This pattern describes how to run scheduled and event-driven workloads at scale on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud by using AWS Fargate.
In the use case that this pattern sets up, code is scanned for AWS sensitive information, such as the AWS account number and credentials, whenever a pull request is submitted. The pull request initiates a Lambda function. The Lambda function invokes a Fargate task that takes care of the code scan. Lambda is initiated whenever a new pull request is raised. If the scan finds any sensitive information, Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) sends the scan results in an email message.
This pattern is helpful in the following business use cases:
If your business must run many scheduled and event-driven workloads that cannot be run by AWS Lambda because of limitations around runtime (a 15-minute limit) or memory
If you want AWS to manage the instances provisioned for these workloads
When you use this pattern, you have the option of creating a new virtual private cloud (VPC).
