Request Syntax
response = client.describe_job_definitions(
jobDefinitions=[
'string',
],
maxResults=123,
jobDefinitionName='string',
status='string',
nextToken='string'
)
A list of up to 100 job definitions. Each entry in the list can either be an ARN in the format arn:aws:batch:${Region}:${Account}:job-definition/${JobDefinitionName}:${Revision} or a short version using the form ${JobDefinitionName}:${Revision} .
DescribeJobDefinitions in paginated output. When this parameter is used, DescribeJobDefinitions only returns maxResults results in a single page and a nextToken response element. The remaining results of the initial request can be seen by sending another DescribeJobDefinitions request with the returned nextToken value. This value can be between 1 and 100. If this parameter isn't used, then DescribeJobDefinitions returns up to 100 results and a nextToken value if applicable.The nextToken value returned from a previous paginated DescribeJobDefinitions request where maxResults was used and the results exceeded the value of that parameter. Pagination continues from the end of the previous results that returned the nextToken value. This value is null when there are no more results to return.
Note
Treat this token as an opaque identifier that's only used to retrieve the next items in a list and not for other programmatic purposes.

registry/repository[:tag] or registry/repository[@digest] naming conventions. For example, public.ecr.aws/registry_alias/my-web-app:latest .123456789012.dkr.ecr.<region-name>.amazonaws.com/<repository-name> ).ubuntu or mongo ).amazon/amazon-ecs-agent ).quay.io/assemblyline/ubuntu ).vcpus (integer) --
This parameter is deprecated, use resourceRequirements to specify the vCPU requirements for the job definition. It's not supported for jobs running on Fargate resources. For jobs running on EC2 resources, it specifies the number of vCPUs reserved for the job.
Each vCPU is equivalent to 1,024 CPU shares. This parameter maps to CpuShares in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --cpu-shares option to docker run. The number of vCPUs must be specified but can be specified in several places. You must specify it at least once for each node.
memory (integer) --
This parameter is deprecated, use resourceRequirements to specify the memory requirements for the job definition. It's not supported for jobs running on Fargate resources. For jobs that run on EC2 resources, it specifies the memory hard limit (in MiB) for a container. If your container attempts to exceed the specified number, it's terminated. You must specify at least 4 MiB of memory for a job using this parameter. The memory hard limit can be specified in several places. It must be specified for each node at least once.
command (list) --
The command that's passed to the container. This parameter maps to Cmd in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the COMMAND parameter to docker run. For more information, see https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#cmd.
jobRoleArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that the container can assume for Amazon Web Services permissions. For more information, see IAM roles for tasks in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
executionRoleArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the execution role that Batch can assume. For jobs that run on Fargate resources, you must provide an execution role. For more information, see Batch execution IAM role in the Batch User Guide .
volumes (list) --
A list of data volumes used in a job.
(dict) --
A data volume that's used in a job's container properties.
host (dict) --
The contents of the host parameter determine whether your data volume persists on the host container instance and where it's stored. If the host parameter is empty, then the Docker daemon assigns a host path for your data volume. However, the data isn't guaranteed to persist after the containers that are associated with it stop running.
Note
This parameter isn't applicable to jobs that are running on Fargate resources and shouldn't be provided.
sourcePath (string) --
The path on the host container instance that's presented to the container. If this parameter is empty, then the Docker daemon has assigned a host path for you. If this parameter contains a file location, then the data volume persists at the specified location on the host container instance until you delete it manually. If the source path location doesn't exist on the host container instance, the Docker daemon creates it. If the location does exist, the contents of the source path folder are exported.
Note
This parameter isn't applicable to jobs that run on Fargate resources. Don't provide this for these jobs.
name (string) --
The name of the volume. It can be up to 255 characters long. It can contain uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). This name is referenced in the sourceVolume parameter of container definition mountPoints .

fileSystemId (string) --
The Amazon EFS file system ID to use.
rootDirectory (string) --
The directory within the Amazon EFS file system to mount as the root directory inside the host. If this parameter is omitted, the root of the Amazon EFS volume is used instead. Specifying / has the same effect as omitting this parameter. The maximum length is 4,096 characters.
Warning
If an EFS access point is specified in the authorizationConfig , the root directory parameter must either be omitted or set to / , which enforces the path set on the Amazon EFS access point.
transitEncryption (string) --
Determines whether to enable encryption for Amazon EFS data in transit between the Amazon ECS host and the Amazon EFS server. Transit encryption must be enabled if Amazon EFS IAM authorization is used. If this parameter is omitted, the default value of DISABLED is used. For more information, see Encrypting data in transit in the Amazon Elastic File System User Guide .
transitEncryptionPort (integer) --
The port to use when sending encrypted data between the Amazon ECS host and the Amazon EFS server. If you don't specify a transit encryption port, it uses the port selection strategy that the Amazon EFS mount helper uses. The value must be between 0 and 65,535. For more information, see EFS mount helper in the Amazon Elastic File System User Guide .
authorizationConfig (dict) --
The authorization configuration details for the Amazon EFS file system.
accessPointId (string) --
The Amazon EFS access point ID to use. If an access point is specified, the root directory value specified in the EFSVolumeConfiguration must either be omitted or set to / which enforces the path set on the EFS access point. If an access point is used, transit encryption must be enabled in the EFSVolumeConfiguration . For more information, see Working with Amazon EFS access points in the Amazon Elastic File System User Guide .
iam (string) --
Whether or not to use the Batch job IAM role defined in a job definition when mounting the Amazon EFS file system. If enabled, transit encryption must be enabled in the EFSVolumeConfiguration .

EFS IAM authorization requires that TransitEncryption be ENABLED and that a JobRoleArn is specified.
environment (list) --
The environment variables to pass to a container. This parameter maps to Env in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --env option to docker run.
Warning
We don't recommend using plaintext environment variables for sensitive information, such as credential data.
Note
Environment variables cannot start with " AWS_BATCH ". This naming convention is reserved for variables that Batch sets.

Valid values: " defaults " | " ro " | " rw " | " suid " | " nosuid " | " dev " | " nodev " | " exec " | " noexec " | " sync " | " async " | " dirsync " | " remount " | " mand " | " nomand " | " atime " | " noatime " | " diratime " | " nodiratime " | " bind " | " rbind" | "unbindable" | "runbindable" | "private" | "rprivate" | "shared" | "rshared" | "slave" | "rslave" | "relatime " | " norelatime " | " strictatime " | " nostrictatime " | " mode " | " uid " | " gid " | " nr_inodes " | " nr_blocks " | " mpol "
maxSwap (integer) --
The total amount of swap memory (in MiB) a container can use. This parameter is translated to the --memory-swap option to docker run where the value is the sum of the container memory plus the maxSwap value. For more information, see --memory-swapdetails in the Docker documentation.
If a maxSwap value of 0 is specified, the container doesn't use swap. Accepted values are 0 or any positive integer. If the maxSwap parameter is omitted, the container doesn't use the swap configuration for the container instance that it's running on. A maxSwap value must be set for the swappiness parameter to be used.
Note
This parameter isn't applicable to jobs that are running on Fargate resources. Don't provide it for these jobs.
swappiness (integer) --
You can use this parameter to tune a container's memory swappiness behavior. A swappiness value of 0 causes swapping to not occur unless absolutely necessary. A swappiness value of 100 causes pages to be swapped aggressively. Valid values are whole numbers between 0 and 100 . If the swappiness parameter isn't specified, a default value of 60 is used. If a value isn't specified for maxSwap , then this parameter is ignored. If maxSwap is set to 0, the container doesn't use swap. This parameter maps to the --memory-swappiness option to docker run.
Consider the following when you use a per-container swap configuration.
Note
By default, the Amazon ECS optimized AMIs don't have swap enabled. You must enable swap on the instance to use this feature. For more information, see Instance store swap volumes in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances or How do I allocate memory to work as swap space in an Amazon EC2 instance by using a swap file?
maxSwap and swappiness parameters are omitted from a job definition, each container has a default swappiness value of 60. Moreover, the total swap usage is limited to two times the memory reservation of the container.Note
This parameter isn't applicable to jobs that are running on Fargate resources. Don't provide it for these jobs.
logConfiguration (dict) --
The log configuration specification for the container.
This parameter maps to LogConfig in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --log-driver option to docker run. By default, containers use the same logging driver that the Docker daemon uses. However the container might use a different logging driver than the Docker daemon by specifying a log driver with this parameter in the container definition. To use a different logging driver for a container, the log system must be configured properly on the container instance (or on a different log server for remote logging options). For more information on the options for different supported log drivers, see Configure logging drivers in the Docker documentation.
Note
Batch currently supports a subset of the logging drivers available to the Docker daemon (shown in the LogConfiguration data type).
This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log in to your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version | grep "Server API version"
Note
The Amazon ECS container agent running on a container instance must register the logging drivers available on that instance with the ECS_AVAILABLE_LOGGING_DRIVERS environment variable before containers placed on that instance can use these log configuration options. For more information, see Amazon ECS container agent configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

By default, the Amazon ECS optimized AMIs don't have swap enabled. You must enable swap on the instance to use this feature. For more information, see Instance store swap volumes in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances or How do I allocate memory to work as swap space in an Amazon EC2 instance by using a swap file?
maxSwap and swappiness parameters are omitted from a job definition, each container has a default swappiness value of 60. Moreover, the total swap usage is limited to two times the memory reservation of the container.Note
This parameter isn't applicable to jobs that are running on Fargate resources. Don't provide it for these jobs.
logConfiguration (dict) --
The log configuration specification for the container.
This parameter maps to LogConfig in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --log-driver option to docker run. By default, containers use the same logging driver that the Docker daemon uses. However the container might use a different logging driver than the Docker daemon by specifying a log driver with this parameter in the container definition. To use a different logging driver for a container, the log system must be configured properly on the container instance (or on a different log server for remote logging options). For more information on the options for different supported log drivers, see Configure logging drivers in the Docker documentation.
Note
Batch currently supports a subset of the logging drivers available to the Docker daemon (shown in the LogConfiguration data type).
This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log in to your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version | grep "Server API version"
Note
The Amazon ECS container agent running on a container instance must register the logging drivers available on that instance with the ECS_AVAILABLE_LOGGING_DRIVERS environment variable before containers placed on that instance can use these log configuration options. For more information, see Amazon ECS container agent configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
logDriver (string) --
The log driver to use for the container. The valid values that are listed for this parameter are log drivers that the Amazon ECS container agent can communicate with by default.
The supported log drivers are awslogs , fluentd , gelf , json-file , journald , logentries , syslog , and splunk .
Note
Jobs that are running on Fargate resources are restricted to the awslogs and splunk log drivers.
awslogs
Specifies the Amazon CloudWatch Logs logging driver. For more information, see Using the awslogs log driver in the Batch User Guide and Amazon CloudWatch Logs logging driver in the Docker documentation.
fluentd
Specifies the Fluentd logging driver. For more information including usage and options, see Fluentd logging driver in the Docker documentation .
gelf
Specifies the Graylog Extended Format (GELF) logging driver. For more information including usage and options, see Graylog Extended Format logging driver in the Docker documentation .
journald
Specifies the journald logging driver. For more information including usage and options, see Journald logging driver in the Docker documentation .
