AWS Kubernetes: Deploying set of pods in the same namespace to Fargate and others to EC2 node group?

I have an AWS EKS Kubernetes cluster. I have a set of EC2 nodes and also have configured a Fargate profile to launch pods in Fargate compute. Say I am running an App in namespace alex-ns. Can I somehow deploy 1 set of pods in Fargate and 1 set of different pods in my other EC2 nodegroup if they all reside in alex-ns? It appears that if I set the Fargate profile to match with namespace alex-ns everything is Launched in Fargate. However, I would like to split it up specifically based on labels or something. The reason I'm asking is I have to run a Pod that requires more than 32 GB of RAM that's available in Fargate so my pod must run in my EC2 node group.

Yes, you can also add labels to the Fargate Profile selector in addition to the namespace alex-ns.

The EKS documentation has more info about Fargate Profiles, an example selector for your case:

    "selectors": [
        {
            "namespace": "alex-ns",
            "labels": {
                "fargate": "yes"
            }
        }
