crew_class_launcher_aws_batch: AWS Batch launcher class

In crew.aws.batch: A Crew Launcher Plugin for AWS Batch

AWS Batch launcher class

Description

AWS Batch launcher R6 class

Details

See crew_launcher_aws_batch().

IAM policies

In order for the AWS Batch crew plugin to function properly, your IAM policy needs permission to perform the SubmitJob and TerminateJob AWS Batch API calls. For more information on AWS policies and permissions, please visit https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html.

AWS arguments

The AWS Batch controller and launcher accept many arguments which start with "aws_batch_". These arguments are AWS-Batch-specific parameters forwarded directly to the submit_job() method for the Batch client in the paws.compute R package

For a full description of each argument, including its meaning and format, please visit https://www.paws-r-sdk.com/docs/batch_submit_job/. The upstream API documentation is at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/batch/latest/APIReference/API_SubmitJob.html and the analogous CLI documentation is at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/batch/submit-job.html.

The actual argument names may vary slightly, depending on which : for example, the aws_batch_job_definition argument of the crew AWS Batch launcher/controller corresponds to the jobDefinition argument of the web API and paws.compute::batch()$submit_job(), and both correspond to the --job-definition argument of the CLI.

Verbosity

Control verbosity with the paws.log_level global option in R. Set to 0 for minimum verbosity and 3 for maximum verbosity.
