AWS Batch now supports default instance type options
News
AWS Batch has introduced two new instance type options for Compute Environments: default-x86_64 and default-arm64.
- Automatically selects most cost-effective instance types across generations
- Supports running workloads with newer EC2 instance families
- Potential for better performance at lower cost
- New instance types will be automatically added to default pools
- Available in all commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions
Users can select default-x86_64 or default-arm64 in the instanceType parameter for managed compute environments. The existing 'optimal' option continues to be supported, and no immediate action is required.
