          • etag (string) –

            The etag for the object.

      • type (string) –

        The data type for the data source that you’re using for your container image or simulation job. You can use this field to specify whether your data source is an Archive, an Amazon S3 prefix, or a file.

        If you don’t specify a field, the default value is File.

      • destination (string) –

        The location where your files are mounted in the container image.

        If you’ve specified the type of the data source as an Archive, you must provide an Amazon S3 object key to your archive. The object key must point to either a .zip or .tar.gz file.

        If you’ve specified the type of the data source as a Prefix, you provide the Amazon S3 prefix that points to the files that you are using for your data source.

        If you’ve specified the type of the data source as a File, you provide the Amazon S3 path to the file that you’re using as your data source.

  • tags (dict) –

    The list of all tags added to the specified simulation job.

    • (string) –

      • (string) –

  • vpcConfig (dict) –

    The VPC configuration.

    • subnets (list) –

      A list of subnet IDs associated with the simulation job.

      • (string) –

    • securityGroups (list) –

      A list of security group IDs associated with the simulation job.

      • (string) –

    • vpcId (string) –

      The VPC ID associated with your simulation job.

    • assignPublicIp (boolean) –

      A boolean indicating if a public IP was assigned.

  • networkInterface (dict) –

    The network interface information for the simulation job.

    • networkInterfaceId (string) –

      The ID of the network interface.

    • privateIpAddress (string) –

      The IPv4 address of the network interface within the subnet.

    • publicIpAddress (string) –

      The IPv4 public address of the network interface.

  • compute (dict) –

    Compute information for the simulation job.

    • simulationUnitLimit (integer) –

      The simulation unit limit. Your simulation is allocated CPU and memory proportional to the supplied simulation unit limit. A simulation unit is 1 vcpu and 2GB of memory. You are only billed for the SU utilization you consume up to the maximum value provided. The default is 15.

    • computeType (string) –

      Compute type response information for the simulation job.

    • gpuUnitLimit (integer) –

      Compute GPU unit limit for the simulation job. It is the same as the number of GPUs allocated to the SimulationJob.
