AWS Batch introduces the Job Queue Snapshot to view jobs at the front of the job queues

Posted on: Jun 3, 2024

AWS Batch now offers the Job Queue Snapshot feature, enabling you to observe the jobs at the front of your queues. This feature provides visibility to the existing AWS Batch Fair Share Scheduling capabilities. The Job Queue Snapshot displays the jobs at the front of your job queues to assist administrators.

Job Queue Snapshot addresses the needs of customers using AWS Batch and leveraging Fair Share Scheduling to balance workloads within the same organization. By gaining visibility into the jobs at the front of their queues, you can quickly identify and resolve issues that may be impacting workload progress, helping you to meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and minimize disruptions to your end-users.

The Job Queue Snapshot feature is available to all AWS Batch customers today and across all AWS Regions where AWS Batch is offered. Customers can access the snapshot through the AWS Batch console or by using the GetJobQueueSnapshot API via the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).
