AWS Batch on Amazon EKS

AWS Batch now extends its job scheduling capabilities to unmanaged compute environments on Amazon EKS. This allows you to leverage AWS Batch's job orchestration while maintaining full control over your Kubernetes infrastructure.

What to do

  • Create unmanaged compute environments using the CreateComputeEnvironment API or AWS Batch console.
  • Select your existing EKS cluster and specify a Kubernetes namespace.
  • Associate your EKS nodes with the compute environment using kubectl labeling.

AWS Batch supports running efficient batch processing for ML model training, simulations, and analysis at any scale. Unmanaged compute environments on Amazon EKS are available in all AWS regions where AWS Batch is available.
