# Development endpoints
<a name="development"></a>

**Note**  
 **The console experience for dev endpoints has been removed as of March 31, 2023.** Creating, updating, and monitoring dev endpoints is still available via the [Development endpoints API](aws-glue-api-dev-endpoint.md) and [ AWS Glue CLI](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/glue/index.html#cli-aws-glue).

 We strongly recommend migrating from dev endpoints to interactive sessions for the reasons listed below. For required actions on how to migrate from dev endpoints to interactive sessions, see [Migrating from dev endpoints to interactive sessions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/development-migration-checklist.html). 


| Description | Dev endpoints | Interactive sessions | 
| --- | --- | --- | 
| Glue version support | Supports AWS Glue version 0.9 and 1.0 | Supports AWS Glue version 2.0 and later | 
| Dev endpoints are not available in the Asia Pacific (Jakarta) (ap-southeast-3), Middle East (UAE) (me-central-1), Europe (Spain) (eu-south-2), Europe (Zurich) (eu-central-2), or other new regions going forward | Interactive sessions are not currently available in the Middle East (UAE) (me-central-1) region, but may be made available later | 
| Access method to the Spark cluster | Supports SSH, REPL shell, Jupyter notebook, IDE (e.g. PyCharm) | supports AWS Glue Studio notebook, Jupyter notebook, various IDEs (for example, Visual Studio Code, PyCharm), and SageMaker AI notebook | 
| Time to first query | Requires 10-15 minutes to setup a Spark cluster | Can take up to 1 minute to set up an ephemeral Spark cluster | 
| Price model | AWS charges for development endpoints based on the time that the endpoint is provisioned and the number of DPUs. Development endpoints do not time out. There is a 10-minute minimum billing duration for each provisioned development endpoint. Additionally, AWS charges for Jupyter notebook on Amazon EC2 instances, and SageMaker AI notebooks when you configure them with dev endpoints.  | AWS charges for interactive sessions based on the time that the session is active and the number of DPUs. interactive sessions have configurable idle timeouts.  AWS Glue Studio notebooks provide a built-in interface for interactive sessions and are offered at no additional cost. There is a 1-minute minimum billing duration for each interactive session. AWS Glue Studio notebooks provide a built-in interface for interactive sessions and are offered at no additional cost | 
| Console experience | Only available via the CLI and API | Available through the AWS Glue console, CLI, and APIs | 

The following sections provide information on using dev endpoints to develop jobs in AWS Glue version 1.0.
