Study Notes
- AWS Batch is a fully managed AWS service that enables efficient batch processing of workloads without infrastructure management.
- It automatically provisions compute resources.
- It automatically schedules jobs.
- It scales dynamically based on demand.
Key Features
- Automatically allocates EC2 or Fargate instances as needed.
- Runs jobs in Docker containers using Amazon ECS.
- Adjusts compute capacity dynamically based on workload.
- Organizes jobs with priority-based execution.
- Integrates with S3, CloudWatch, IAM, Lambda, and Step Functions.
How It Works
- Job Queues store and prioritize jobs for execution.
- Compute Environments define instances or Fargate for job execution.
- Job Submission specifies job parameters, container images, and dependencies.
- AWS Batch assigns and tracks jobs automatically.
Use Cases
- Big Data Processing, such as Spark and Hadoop.
- Scientific Simulations, such as bioinformatics and climate modeling.
- Rendering and Video Processing.
- Financial Data Analysis.
- Machine Learning Preprocessing.
- It simplifies large-scale workload execution, optimizing costs and efficiency in cloud-based batch processing.
