Pricing model is not serverless. The basic serverless principle is no-use-no-pay.

Theoretically, if container start up times are around 125ms it should be possible to achieve this with Fargate + Knative's "scale to zero" functionality[1]. AWS is already working on improving Fargate/Kubernetes integration.

Doesn't a Kubernetes master on Fargate cost a significantly non-zero amount of money? Pretty sure it does.

Sure, but if you already have one then there is no incremental cost.

It would be great if they announced that they were gonna remove EKS master costs altogether. Technically Firecracker should make it possible for them to run that infrastructure more efficiently :)

Only dev instances should see zero traffic, any production site will have > 0 load at all times.

Yep, if with KNative, it is possible.
