AWS Batch now supports Amazon ECS Managed Instances

AWS Batch on ECS Managed Instances

AWS Batch now supports Amazon ECS Managed Instances (ECS MI) as a new compute option, enabling you to run GPU-accelerated and compute-intensive batch workloads on AWS-managed infrastructure. With AWS Batch on ECS MI, you can access GPU-accelerated instances while AWS handles AMI updates, security patching, and instance lifecycle automatically, eliminating the operational overhead of customer-managed Amazon EC2 infrastructure.

What to do

• Create an AWS Batch on ECS MI compute environment using the AWS Batch CreateComputeEnvironment API or the AWS Batch Management Console.
• Specify your allowed instance types and networking configuration in the managedInstancesProvider block.
• Associate the compute environment with a job queue.
• Submit jobs using On-Demand, Spot, or reserved capacity.

AWS Batch on ECS Managed Instances is supported in all AWS Regions where AWS Batch is available. For more information, see the AWS Batch User Guide.
