AWS Batch

Fully managed AWS service for running batch computing jobs at any scale on EC2, Spot or Fargate.

Definition

AWS Batch provisions compute environments, queues jobs and schedules them based on resource requirements and priorities. It supports array jobs and multi-node parallel jobs and can use Spot capacity to lower costs, with no additional charge beyond the resources used.

Example

A financial firm runs 10,000 overnight risk calculation jobs on Spot Instances through AWS Batch.

Exam tip

Batch fits long-running jobs that exceed Lambda's 15-minute limit.
