AWS Glue examples using Tools for PowerShell - AWS Tools for PowerShell

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS Tools for PowerShell with AWS Glue.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

The following code example shows how to use New-GLUEJob.

Tools for PowerShell

Example 1: This example creates a new job in AWS Glue. The command name value is always glueetl. AWS Glue supports running job scripts written in Python or Scala. In this example, the job script (MyTestGlueJob.py) is written in Python. Python parameters are specified in the $DefArgs variable, and then passed to the PowerShell command in the DefaultArguments parameter, which accepts a hashtable. The parameters in the $JobParams variable come from the CreateJob API, documented in the Jobs (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/aws-glue-api-jobs-job.html) topic of the AWS Glue API reference.

$Command = New-Object Amazon.Glue.Model.JobCommand $Command.Name = 'glueetl' $Command.ScriptLocation = 's3://amzn-s3-demo-source-bucket/admin/MyTestGlueJob.py' $Command $Source = "source_test_table" $Target = "target_test_table" $Connections = $Source, $Target $DefArgs = @{ '--TempDir' = 's3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/admin' '--job-bookmark-option' = 'job-bookmark-disable' '--job-language' = 'python' } $DefArgs $ExecutionProp = New-Object Amazon.Glue.Model.ExecutionProperty $ExecutionProp.MaxConcurrentRuns = 1 $ExecutionProp $JobParams = @{ "AllocatedCapacity" = "5" "Command" = $Command "Connections_Connection" = $Connections "DefaultArguments" = $DefArgs "Description" = "This is a test" "ExecutionProperty" = $ExecutionProp "MaxRetries" = "1" "Name" = "MyOregonTestGlueJob" "Role" = "Amazon-GlueServiceRoleForSSM" "Timeout" = "20" } New-GlueJob @JobParams
