What is Amazon Batch?

Amazon Batch helps you to run batch computing workloads on the Amazon Web Services Cloud. Batch computing is a common way for developers, scientists, and engineers to access large amounts of compute resources. Amazon Batch removes the undifferentiated heavy lifting of configuring and managing the required infrastructure, similar to traditional batch computing software. This service can efficiently provision resources in response to jobs submitted in order to eliminate capacity constraints, reduce compute costs, and deliver results quickly.

As a fully managed service, Amazon Batch helps you to run batch computing workloads of any scale. Amazon Batch automatically provisions compute resources and optimizes the workload distribution based on the quantity and scale of the workloads. With Amazon Batch, there's no need to install or manage batch computing software, so you can focus your time on analyzing results and solving problems.
