description: AWS Batch enables developers, scientists, and engineers to easily and efficiently run hundreds of thousands of
  batch computing jobs on AWS. AWS Batch dynamically provisions the optimal quantity and type of compute resources (EC2 On-Demand,
  EC2 Spot, Fargate, EKS) based on the volume and specific resource requirements of the batch jobs submitted, with no need
  to install or manage batch computing software or server clusters.

  name: Amazon Batch API
  description: The AWS Batch API enables programmatic management of batch computing workloads, including creating and managing
    compute environments, job queues, job definitions, scheduling policies, and submitting and monitoring batch jobs at any
    scale. Supports single-node jobs, array jobs for parameter sweeps, and multi-node parallel jobs for HPC.
