## About AWS Batch
AWS Batch enables developers, scientists, and engineers to easily and efficiently run hundreds of thousands of batch computing jobs on AWS. AWS Batch dynamically provisions the optimal quantity and type of compute resources (e.g., CPU or memory optimized instances) based on the volume and specific resource requirements of the batch jobs submitted. With AWS Batch, there is no need to install and manage batch computing software or server clusters that you use to run your jobs, allowing you to focus on analyzing results and solving problems. AWS Batch plans, schedules, and executes your batch computing workloads across the full range of AWS compute services and features, such as Amazon EC2 and Spot Instances. There is no additional charge for AWS Batch. You only pay for the AWS resources (e.g. EC2 instances) you create to store and run your batch jobs.

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kyle M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2019

**What do you like best about AWS Batch?**

The ability to use AWS services to manage and scale docker containers in an EC2 instance is a good feature.

**What do you dislike about AWS Batch?**

AWS Batch is glacially slow, unresponsive, and generally lacks the tools to change those things. 

- Doesn't scale down the number of instances you have if you request the minimum be over 0
- Startup time for instances often exceeds 15 minutes without you manually changing the number of instances you would like.
- Gives no indication that the setup has been done incorrectly before a task begins to run. This gives you about a 20 minute turnaround time on potential errors.

**Recommendations to others considering AWS Batch:**

All indications from forum searches is that AWS Batch is currently working as intended.

**What problems is AWS Batch solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can't solve my company's problems with batch. That's the problem. I will have to migrate to kubernetes.

  ### 31. Great serverless service for long running tasks. 

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yuriy P. | Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2019

**What do you like best about AWS Batch?**

No need to manage machines, easy to use, great dashboard, context separation using queues, fully supported SDK for programmatic access. Automatic integration with Cloud Watch logs,monitoring. Support of IAM. 

**What do you dislike about AWS Batch?**

Dashboard search is not as well as I would want it it be. Jobs history limited. No any manual control over machines allocation. 

**Recommendations to others considering AWS Batch:**

Definetly worth

**What problems is AWS Batch solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Machin learning workloads. Long running tasks, S3 buckets copy for example. Batteries included jobs execution service. If Lambda is not an option, Batch is the solution. 

  ### 32. Batch jobs processing without any underlying infrastructure.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yuriy P. | Senior Software Engineer (Blockchains Infrastructure) @ Fireblocks , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2019

**What do you like best about AWS Batch?**

No need to manage underlying infrastructure.
IAM granular configuration.
Easy Dashboard for monitoring jobs.
Context separation using Job Queues.
TTL for job.
Great SDK, programmatic access.

**What do you dislike about AWS Batch?**

The dashboard lacks search and filter functionalities. Machine allocation and destruction settings cannot be configured (such as for TTL).

**What problems is AWS Batch solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In-memory Machine Learning. (Pandas)
Copy huge datasets from S3 to S3.
Any other batch processing can be done with predefined containers for different jobs.

  ### 33. Good for large task executions, bad for quick response time

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2019

**What do you like best about AWS Batch?**

Easy to configure  task queues and queue tasks that require async execution with AWS client for PHP. Good logs on AWS cloudwatch where you can log output and errors of the task execution.

**What do you dislike about AWS Batch?**

Poor response time between the task is queued and its execution. There is no option to optimize that time to reduce the total task execution time.

**Recommendations to others considering AWS Batch:**

Not good if you need quick execution times. There is a huge gap between queuing and processing a task.

**What problems is AWS Batch solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Execution of large tasks that needs huge processing power. With AWS Batch we avoid problems with autoscaling with tasks that can have a large variance of demand.

  ### 34. Product Review - Amazon Batch

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ajay G. | Frontend Developer, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2018

**What do you like best about AWS Batch?**

There are various good things but the best part I like a job which can be executed in a docker container can be executed in AWS Batch as well.  Amazon does not charge an extra fee for the batch Jobs. They only charge for the resources which Batch Job is spawning say EC2 instance, S3 Storage, etc. 
AWS Batch plays an important role running many jobs at scale, particularly with multiple dependencies. It makes very easy to run that and you don't have to worry about the resources. 
It's very easy to configure the jobs in AWS Batch and configure the Compute environment. Documentation is really simple.
With AWS Batch, there is no need to install any external Batch Computing Tool  on the resources. 

**What do you dislike about AWS Batch?**

Maximum number of jobs you can have in a queue is 20 which i would say is low for a bigger organization . 
as well as the limitation on the maximum number of compute environments. 
Another thing, support for this product can be improved more. 

**Recommendations to others considering AWS Batch:**

Teams who are running their services on AWS, should use the AWS Batch for the batch processing jobs as it gives you a lot of out of box solutions. You don't have to worry about how other resources will communicate with each other for batch Jobs. 
Configuring Batch jobs is really easy as it's well documented. 
The best part AWS is not charging you for this. They will charge you only for the resources what AWS Batch will be spawning. 

**What problems is AWS Batch solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are running lot of batch jobs to clear the resources overnight that we are using. E.g:- 
Cleaning up the unused docker containers/volumes/networks.
Collecting the various application logs overnight and store them in a file
Taking a snapshot of various volumes.


  ### 35. AWS Batch

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2018

**What do you like best about AWS Batch?**

AWS Batch allows to automatically that all the submitted jobs are scheduled and manages the lifecycle of the jobs by shifting the time of job processing to periods when greater or less expensive capacity is available. It increases efficieny and maintains prioritization as well as performs resource management. 

**What do you dislike about AWS Batch?**

AWS Batch does not support several features like retry strategies for failed jobs, email status reporting the jobs , dependency management between the jobs. 

**Recommendations to others considering AWS Batch:**

AWS Batch is an amazing tool for automating the job scheduling. It effectively ensures the resource management and also its EC2 container services is very highly scalable. AWS Batch also has features that allows it to be easily imtegrated with other services. 

**What problems is AWS Batch solving and how is that benefiting you?**

AWS Batch focuses on applications and its resource requirements. EC2 container services is highly scalable  and its high perfomance supports docker container as well; this makes it exteremely easier for us to run the applications on managed clusters of AWS instances. Also, its compatability to use with other AWS services is amazing and is highly secured.
