https://aws.amazon.com/polly/ Today I’m pleased to announce http://aws.amazon.com/batch for https://aws.amazon.com/eks/. When I’ve previously considered Kubernetes, it appeared to be focused on the management and hosting of microservice workloads.

AWS Batch for Amazon EKS AWS Batch for Amazon EKS offers a fully managed service to run batch workloads using clusters hosted on https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ with no need to install and manage complex, custom batch solutions to address the differences highlighted earlier.

When running batch jobs on Amazon EKS clusters, AWS Batch is the main entry point to submit workload requests.

How it works AWS Batch uses managed Amazon EKS clusters, which need to be registered with AWS Batch, and permissions set so that AWS Batch can launch and manage compute environments in those clusters to process jobs submitted to the queue.
