Run large-scale simulations with AWS Batch multi-container jobs

This article introduces AWS Batch's new support for multi-container jobs, enabling easier deployment of large-scale simulations involving multiple components like 3D environments, sensors, and monitoring sidecars.

Specifically, the article covers:

• Building a simplified simulation with separate maze model and agent components
• Configuring AWS Batch resources (compute environment, job queue, job definition) for multi-container jobs
• Running the simulation as a multi-container job on AWS Batch
• Adding observability with AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry sidecar container
• Benefits like accelerating development, simplifying DevOps, and optimizing costs
