Create a compute environment - AWS Batch
Services or capabilities described in AWS documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud Region, see the AWS European Sovereign Cloud User Guide.

Create a compute environment

Before you can run jobs in AWS Batch, you need to create a compute environment. You can create a managed compute environment where AWS Batch manages the Amazon EC2 instances or AWS Fargate resources within the environment based on your specifications. Or, alternatively, you can create an unmanaged compute environment where you handle the Amazon EC2 instance configuration within the environment.

Important

Fargate Spot instances are not supported in the following scenarios:

  • Windows containers on AWS Fargate

A job queue will be blocked in these scenarios if a job is submitted to a job queue that only uses Fargate Spot compute environments.
