Properties

AllocatedCapacity

This parameter is no longer supported. Use MaxCapacity instead.

The number of capacity units that are allocated to this job.

Required: No

Type: Number

Update requires: No interruption

Command

The code that executes a job.

Required: Yes

Type: JobCommand

Update requires: No interruption

Connections

The connections used for this job.

Required: No

Type: ConnectionsList

Update requires: No interruption

DefaultArguments

The default arguments for this job, specified as name-value pairs.

You can specify arguments here that your own job-execution script consumes, in addition to arguments that AWS Glue itself consumes.

For information about how to specify and consume your own job arguments, see Calling AWS Glue APIs in Python in the AWS Glue Developer Guide.

For information about the key-value pairs that AWS Glue consumes to set up your job, see Special Parameters Used by AWS Glue in the AWS Glue Developer Guide.

Required: No

Type: Json

Update requires: No interruption

Description

A description of the job.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: [\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF\r\n\t]*

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 2048

Update requires: No interruption

ExecutionClass

Indicates whether the job is run with a standard or flexible execution class. The standard execution class is ideal for time-sensitive workloads that require fast job startup and dedicated resources.

The flexible execution class is appropriate for time-insensitive jobs whose start and completion times may vary.

Only jobs with AWS Glue version 3.0 and above and command type glueetl will be allowed to set ExecutionClass to FLEX. The flexible execution class is available for Spark jobs.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

ExecutionProperty

The maximum number of concurrent runs that are allowed for this job.

Required: No

Type: ExecutionProperty

Update requires: No interruption

GlueVersion

Glue version determines the versions of Apache Spark and Python that AWS Glue supports. The Python version indicates the version supported for jobs of type Spark.

For more information about the available AWS Glue versions and corresponding Spark and Python versions, see Glue version in the developer guide.

Jobs that are created without specifying a Glue version default to the latest Glue version available.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^(\w+\.)+\w+$

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 255

Update requires: No interruption

JobMode

A mode that describes how a job was created. Valid values are:

  • SCRIPT - The job was created using the AWS Glue Studio script editor.

  • VISUAL - The job was created using the AWS Glue Studio visual editor.

  • NOTEBOOK - The job was created using an interactive sessions notebook.

When the JobMode field is missing or null, SCRIPT is assigned as the default value.

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: SCRIPT | VISUAL | NOTEBOOK

Update requires: No interruption

JobRunQueuingEnabled

Specifies whether job run queuing is enabled for the job runs for this job.

A value of true means job run queuing is enabled for the job runs. If false or not populated, the job runs will not be considered for queueing.

If this field does not match the value set in the job run, then the value from the job run field will be used.

Required: No

Type: Boolean

Update requires: No interruption

LogUri

This field is reserved for future use.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

MaintenanceWindow

This field specifies a day of the week and hour for a maintenance window for streaming jobs. AWS Glue periodically performs maintenance activities. During these maintenance windows, AWS Glue will need to restart your streaming jobs.

AWS Glue will restart the job within 3 hours of the specified maintenance window. For instance, if you set up the maintenance window for Monday at 10:00AM GMT, your jobs will be restarted between 10:00AM GMT to 1:00PM GMT.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^(Sun|Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat):([01]?[0-9]|2[0-3])$

Update requires: No interruption

MaxCapacity

The number of AWS Glue data processing units (DPUs) that can be allocated when this job runs. A DPU is a relative measure of processing power that consists of 4 vCPUs of compute capacity and 16 GB of memory.

Do not set Max Capacity if using WorkerType and NumberOfWorkers.

The value that can be allocated for MaxCapacity depends on whether you are running a Python shell job or an Apache Spark ETL job:

  • When you specify a Python shell job (JobCommand.Name="pythonshell"), you can allocate either 0.0625 or 1 DPU. The default is 0.0625 DPU.

  • When you specify an Apache Spark ETL job (JobCommand.Name="glueetl"), you can allocate from 2 to 100 DPUs. The default is 10 DPUs. This job type cannot have a fractional DPU allocation.

Required: No

Type: Number

Update requires: No interruption

MaxRetries

The maximum number of times to retry this job after a JobRun fails.

Required: No

Type: Number

Update requires: No interruption

Name

The name you assign to this job definition.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: [\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF\t]*

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 255

Update requires: Replacement

NonOverridableArguments

Non-overridable arguments for this job, specified as name-value pairs.

Required: No

Type: Json

Update requires: No interruption

NotificationProperty

Specifies configuration properties of a notification.

Required: No

Type: NotificationProperty

Update requires: No interruption

NumberOfWorkers

The number of workers of a defined workerType that are allocated when a job runs.

The maximum number of workers you can define are 299 for G.1X, and 149 for G.2X.

Required: No

Type: Integer

Update requires: No interruption

Role

The name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role associated with this job.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

SecurityConfiguration

The name of the SecurityConfiguration structure to be used with this job.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: [\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF\t]*

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 255

Update requires: No interruption

Tags

The tags to use with this job.

Required: No

Type: Array of Tag

Update requires: No interruption

Timeout

The job timeout in minutes. This is the maximum time that a job run can consume resources before it is terminated and enters TIMEOUT status. The default is 2,880 minutes (48 hours).

Required: No

Type: Integer

Update requires: No interruption

WorkerType

The type of predefined worker that is allocated when a job runs.

AWS Glue provides multiple worker types to accommodate different workload requirements:

G Worker Types (General-purpose compute workers):

  • G.1X: 1 DPU (4 vCPUs, 16 GB memory, 94GB disk)

  • G.2X: 2 DPU (8 vCPUs, 32 GB memory, 138GB disk)

  • G.4X: 4 DPU (16 vCPUs, 64 GB memory, 256GB disk)

  • G.8X: 8 DPU (32 vCPUs, 128 GB memory, 512GB disk)

  • G.12X: 12 DPU (48 vCPUs, 192 GB memory, 768GB disk)

  • G.16X: 16 DPU (64 vCPUs, 256 GB memory, 1024GB disk)

R Worker Types (Memory-optimized workers):

  • R.1X: 1 M-DPU (4 vCPUs, 32 GB memory)

  • R.2X: 2 M-DPU (8 vCPUs, 64 GB memory)

  • R.4X: 4 M-DPU (16 vCPUs, 128 GB memory)

  • R.8X: 8 M-DPU (32 vCPUs, 256 GB memory)

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: Standard | G.1X | G.2X | G.025X | G.4X | G.8X | Z.2X | G.12X | G.16X | R.1X | R.2X | R.4X | R.8X

Update requires: No interruption

Return values

Ref

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns the job name.

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.
