Create a compute environment

Focus mode
Create a compute environment - AWS Batch

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:

  • On Amazon Linux containers with ARM64 architecture.

  • 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.
