title: What is the actual pricing for AWS ECS?
body: <p>AWS EC2 Container Service official webpage says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>There is no additional charge for Amazon EC2 Container Service. You pay for AWS resources (e.g. EC2 instances or EBS volumes) you create to store and run your application.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What does that mean if I host my application that would run on the micro EC2 instance and it would have been scheduled to run only once a day. The execution would take 1 hour.</p>
  
  <p>Does it mean I pay for 1 hour or do I also pay for the EC2 instance while it's idle? Is in this case AWS Beanstalk better?</p>
