AWS Batch

• AWS Batch

  • Fully managed batch processing at any scale

• batch job

  • a job with a start and an end
  • opposed to continuous

• Features:

  • Efficiently run 100,000s of computing batch jobs on AWS
  • Batch will dynamically launch EC2 instances or Spot Instances
  • AWS Batch provisions the right amount of compute / memory
  • You submit or schedule batch jobs and AWS Batch does the rest!

• Batch jobs are defined as Docker images and run on ECS

• Benefits:

  • Helpful for cost optimizations and focusing less on the infrastructure

Batch vs Lambda

• Lambda:

  • Time limit
  • Limited runtimes
  • Limited temporary disk space
  • Serverless

• Batch:

  • No time limit
  • Any runtime as long as it’s packaged as a Docker image
  • Rely on EBS / instance store for disk space
  • Relies on EC2 (can be managed by AWS)
