Using job templates

A job template stores values that can be shared across StartJobRun API invocations when starting a job run. It supports two use cases:

• To prevent repetitive recurring StartJobRun API request values.

• To enforce a rule that certain values must be provided via StartJobRun API requests.

Job templates enable you to define a reusable template for job runs to apply additional customization, for example:

• Configuring executor and driver compute capacity

• Setting security and governance properties such as IAM roles

• Customizing a docker image to use across multiple applications and data pipelines

The following topics provide detailed information on using templates, including how to use them to start a job run and how to change template parameters.
