Note

In the past, there were two managed policies for the Amazon EC2 Spot Fleet role.

  • AmazonEC2SpotFleetRole: This is the original managed policy for the Spot Fleet role. However, we no longer recommend that you use it with AWS Batch. This policy doesn't support Spot Instance tagging in compute environments, which is required to use the AWSServiceRoleForBatch service-linked role. If you previously created a Spot Fleet role with this policy, apply the new recommended policy to that role. For more information, see Spot Instances not tagged on creation.

  • AmazonEC2SpotFleetTaggingRole: This role provides all of the necessary permissions to tag Amazon EC2 Spot Instances. Use this role to allow Spot Instance tagging on your AWS Batch compute environments.
