Introduction to AWS Batch
Overview of AWS Batch,
Environments, Queues, Job Definitions, and Submitting Jobs What is AWS Batch? • AWS Batch is a fully managed service that enables efficient batch computing at scale. • It dynamically provisions the right compute resources (e.g., CPU, GPU) based on the volume and specific resource requirements of submitted batch jobs. AWS Batch Components • 1. Compute Environments: Provide the compute resources for AWS Batch jobs. • 2. Job Queues: Queues that store submitted jobs until compute resources become available. • 3. Job Definitions: Specify how a job should be run, including the Docker image, vCPUs, memory, etc. Compute Environments • AWS Batch Compute Environments can be managed or unmanaged. • Managed: AWS handles provisioning and scaling of resources. • Unmanaged: You manage your own compute resources, such as EC2 instances. Job Queues • Job Queues store the submitted jobs. • Jobs are dispatched from the queues to the compute environments as resources become available. • Priorities can be assigned to job queues to control the order in which jobs are executed. Job Definitions • Job Definitions define how a job is to be run. • They specify parameters like Docker image, vCPUs, memory requirements, and environment variables. Submitting Jobs • To submit a job in AWS Batch: • 1. Create a Job Definition specifying the required parameters. • 2. Submit the job to a Job Queue. • 3. The job will be executed when resources in the Compute Environment are available. Summary • AWS Batch simplifies the management of batch computing workloads. • Key components include Compute Environments, Job Queues, and Job Definitions. • You can submit jobs by creating a job definition and adding it to a job queue.
