AWS Batch plans, schedules, and executes your batch computing workloads across AWS compute services and features, such as Amazon EC2 and EC2 Spot Instances. 

Amazon FSx for Lustre integrates with AWS Batch though EC2 Launch Templates. AWS Batch will automatically and dynamically size instances to job resource requirements, and use existing file systems when launching instances and running jobs.
