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 (e.g., CPU or memory optimized instances) based on the volume and specific resource requirements of the batch jobs submitted. With AWS Batch, there is no need to install and manage batch computing software or server clusters that you use to run your jobs, allowing you to focus on analyzing results and solving problems. AWS Batch plans, schedules, and executes your batch computing workloads across the full range of AWS compute services and features, such as Amazon EC2 and Spot Instances.

There is no additional charge for AWS Batch. You only pay for the AWS resources (e.g. EC2 instances) you create to store and run your batch jobs.

Quite literally unusable for a production environment in its current state.

What do you like best?

The ability to use AWS services to manage and scale docker containers in an EC2 instance is a good feature.

What do you dislike?

AWS Batch is glacially slow, unresponsive, and generally lacks the tools to change those things.

- Doesn't scale down the number of instances you have if you request the minimum be over 0

- Startup time for instances often exceeds 15 minutes without you manually changing the number of instances you would like.

- Gives no indication that the setup has been done incorrectly before a task begins to run. This gives you about a 20 minute turnaround time on potential errors.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

All indications from forum searches is that AWS Batch is currently working as intended.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I can't solve my company's problems with batch. That's the problem. I will have to migrate to kubernetes.
