AWS Batch now provides AMI status and supports AWS Health Planned Lifecycle Events

AWS BatchAWS · Compute

AWS Batch now provides enhanced visibility into your compute environments with two new capabilities that help you maintain operational best practices. When you describe a compute environment, you can now see the status of your Batch-provided default Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), indicating when updates are available. Additionally, AWS Batch now publishes AWS Health Planned Lifecycle Events to help you prepare for and track changes affecting your batch computing resources.

The AMI status indicator shows whether you're using the latest AMI (LATEST) or if an update is available (UPDATE_AVAILABLE), helping you identify compute environments that may be running outdated AMIs. AWS Health Planned Lifecycle Events provide advance notification of upcoming changes, such as AMI deprecations, help you monitor migration status of your affected compute environments, and automate responses using Amazon EventBridge.

AMI status indicator and AWS Health Planned Lifecycle Events are available today in all AWS Regions where AWS Batch is available. For more information, see Managing AMI versions and AWS Health Planned Lifecycle Events pages in the AWS Batch User Guide.
