Say i configure a container with 2 vCPU and 4 GB memory on Fargate. If the task needs more memory down the lane, can Fargate auto size the container to use 8GB instead of 4? And maybe 4 vCPU instead of 2?

Is this while the containers are running ?

Basically we can resize the pods by updating the task definition and restarting the service/task but it cannot resize automatically.
