Service environment states and lifecycle in AWS Batch

Service environments maintain lifecycle states that indicate their current operational status and readiness to process SageMaker Training jobs. Understanding these states helps you monitor service environment health, troubleshoot configuration issues, and ensure reliable job processing. The state management system follows established patterns from compute environments while accommodating the unique requirements of SageMaker Training job integration.

Service environment states are managed automatically by AWS Batch based on configuration validation, resource availability, and operational health checks. Unlike compute environments that manage physical infrastructure, service environments focus on configuration validation and integration readiness with SageMaker AI services. The state transitions provide visibility into whether your service environment can successfully submit and manage SageMaker Training jobs.
