AWS Batch

AWS Batch is a fully managed batch computing service that enables developers, scientists, and engineers to run hundreds of thousands of batch and machine learning compute jobs efficiently on AWS by dynamically provisioning the optimal quantity and type of compute resources based on job volume and resource requirements. The AWS Batch API provides programmatic management of compute environments, job queues, job definitions, scheduling policies, and job submission and lifecycle operations, authenticated with AWS Signature Version 4 (SigV4).

AWS Batch publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Compute Environments API, Job Definitions API, Job Queues API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Batch Computing, Compute, HPC, Job Scheduling, and Containers.

AWS Batch’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, signup flow, and 5 more developer resources.
