Starting visual ETL jobs in Amazon Glue Studio
You can use the simple visual interface in Amazon Glue Studio to create your ETL jobs. You use the Jobs page to create new jobs. You can also use a script editor or notebook to work directly with code in the Amazon Glue Studio ETL job script.
On the Jobs page, you can see all the jobs that you have created either with Amazon Glue Studio or Amazon Glue. You can view, manage, and run your jobs on this page.

Starting jobs in Amazon Glue Studio
Amazon Glue allows you to create a job through a visual interface, an interactive code notebook, or with a script editor. You can start a job by clicking on any of the options or create a new job based on a sample job.
Sample jobs create a job with the tool of your choice. For example, sample jobs allow you to create a visual ETL job that joins CSV files into a catatlog table, create a job in an interactive code notebook with Amazon Glue for Ray or Amazon Glue for Spark when working with pandas, or create a job in an interactive code notebook with SparkSQL.
Creating a job in Amazon Glue Studio from scratch
Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon Glue Studio console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/gluestudio/
. -
Choose ETL jobs from the navigation pane.
-
In the Create job section, select a configuration option for your job.
Options to create a job from scratch:
-
Visual ETL – author in a visual interface focused on data flow
-
Author using an Interactive code notebook – interactively author jobs in a notebook interface based on Jupyter Notebooks
When you select this option, you must provide additional information before creating a notebook authoring session. For more information about how to specify this information, see Getting started with notebooks in Amazon Glue Studio.
-
Author code with a script editor – For those familiar with programming and writing ETL scripts, choose this option to create a new Spark ETL job. Choose the engine (Python shell, Ray, Spark (Python), or Spark (Scala). Then, choose Start fresh or Upload script. uploading an existing script from a local file. If you choose to use the script editor, you can't use the visual job editor to design or edit your job.
A Spark job is run in an Apache Spark environment managed by Amazon Glue. By default, new scripts are coded in Python. To write a new Scala script, see Creating and editing Scala scripts in Amazon Glue Studio.

Visual ETL job to join multiple sources – Read three CSV files, combine the data, change the data types, then write the data to Amazon S3 and catalog it for querying later.
-
Spark notebook using Pandas – Explore and visualize data using the popular Pandas framework combined with Spark.
-
