Amazon Glue version support policy
Amazon Glue is a serverless data integration service that makes it easy to discover, prepare, and combine data for analytics, machine learning, and application development. An Amazon Glue job contains the business logic that performs the data integration work in Amazon Glue. There are three types of jobs in Amazon Glue: Spark (batch and streaming), Ray and Python shell. When you define your job, you specify the Amazon Glue version, which configures versions in the underlying Spark, Ray or Python runtime environment. For example: an Amazon Glue version 2.0 Spark job supports Spark 2.4.3 and Python 3.7.
Support policy
Occasionally Amazon Glue discontinues support for old Amazon Glue versions. However, jobs running on deprecated versions are no longer eligible for technical support. Amazon Glue will no longer apply security patches or other updates to deprecated versions. Amazon Glue will also not honor SLAs when jobs are run on deprecated versions.
When end of support occurs for Amazon Glue version 2.0 or later, you will not be able to create jobs, but only edit or run jobs.
The following Amazon Glue versions have reached or are scheduled for end of support. End of support starts at midnight (Pacific time zone) on the specified date.
Type | Glue version | End of support |

Spark | Spark 2.2, Scala 2 (Glue version 0.9) | 6/1/2022 |

Amazon strongly recommends that you migrate your jobs to supported versions.
For information on migrating your Spark jobs to the latest Amazon Glue version, see
Migrating Amazon Glue jobs to
Amazon Glue version 4.0
For migrating your Python shell jobs to the latest Amazon Glue version:
In the console, choose
Python 3 (Glue Version 4.0)
.-
In the CreateJob
/UpdateJob API, set the GlueVersion
parameter to2.0
, and thePythonVersion
to3
under theCommand
parameter. TheGlueVersion
configuration does not affect the behavior of Python shell jobs, so there is no advantage to incrementingGlueVersion
. You need to make your job script compatible with Python 3.
Note
All Amazon Regions that were launched prior to the launch of the Jakarta, Indonesia(ap-southeast-3) Region in August 2022 have an allow list of customers who are allowed to run Amazon Glue version 0.9/1.0 job runs. In these older Regions, you can create a job with a null value and it will default to version 0.9/1.0 depending on Region. For any later launched Amazon Regions, you must explicitly set the Amazon Glue version in the API. Amazon Glue no longer accepts a null parameter. If you pass 0.9 or 1.0 in the parameter you encounter the error "Glue Version 0.9 (or) 1.0 is not supported."
