Create a queue to manage jobs in AWS PCS - AWS PCS

Create a queue to manage jobs in AWS PCS

You submit a job to a queue to run it. The job remains in the queue until AWS PCS schedules it to run on a compute node group. Each queue is associated with one or more compute node groups, which provide the necessary EC2 instances to do the processing.

In this step, you will create a queue that uses the compute node group to process jobs.

To create a queue

  • Open the AWS PCS console.

  • Select the cluster named get-started.

  • Navigate to Compute node groups and make sure the status of the compute-1 group is Active.

    Important

    The status of the compute-1 group must be Active before you proceed to the next step.

  • Navigate to Queues and choose Create queue.

    • In the Queue configuration section, provide the following values:

      • Queue name – Enter the following: demo

      • Compute node groups – Select the compute node group named compute-1.

  • Choose Create queue.

The Status field shows Creating while the queue is being created.

Important

Wait for the Status field to show Active before proceeding to the next step in this tutorial.
