We are excited to announce the introduction of new instance family categories for AWS Batch: “default_x86_64” and “default_arm64.” These categories serve as both a clarification and an enhancement to the existing “optimal” instance type category. In this article, we will delve into the background of this new feature and provide guidance on how to configure your Batch environments to leverage these advancements effectively.
As you explore these new instance categories, keep in mind the recent blog post on this topic for more insights. The updates aim to streamline your computational tasks and optimize performance for various applications.
Enhancements to AWS Batch
In our ongoing commitment to improving the AWS Batch experience, we have also developed several features that enhance application functionality. For instance, the ability to manage multiple containers within a single AWS Batch job definition allows you to coordinate applications more efficiently. This approach enables better resource sharing among containers, resulting in more scalable deployments.
Additionally, we have made strides in addressing common challenges faced in batch processing. Our new resource-aware scheduling capability allows for better management of consumable resources, maximizing compute power utilization. This feature is vital for organizations looking to eliminate bottlenecks and optimize their workflows. Learn more about these improvements in our previous post, which is an excellent resource here.
