AWS Batch now allows you to configure a scale down delay for managed compute environments, helping reduce job processing delays for intermittent and periodic workloads. With the new minScaleDownDelayMinutes parameter, you can specify how long AWS Batch keeps instances running after their jobs complete (from 20 minutes to 1 week), preventing unnecessary instance terminations and relaunches that can delay subsequent job processing.

You can configure the scale down delay when creating or updating a compute environment via the AWS Batch API (CreateComputeEnvironment or UpdateComputeEnvironment) or the AWS Batch Management Console. The delay is applied at the instance level, based on when each instance last completed a job.

Scale down delay is supported today in all AWS Regions where AWS Batch is available. For more information, see the AWS Batch API Guide.

AWS Config now supports 30 additional AWS resource types across key services including Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Amazon Cognito. This expansion provides greater coverage over your AWS environment, enabling you to more effectively discover, assess, audit, and remediate an even broader range of resources.

With this launch, if you have enabled recording for all resource types, then AWS Config will automatically track these new additions. The newly supported resource types are also available in Config rules and Config aggregators.

You can now use AWS Config to monitor the following newly supported resource types in all AWS Regions where the supported resources are available:

Resource Types:

AWS::AppSync::DataSource AWS::Deadline::LicenseEndpoint
AWS::Batch::ConsumableResource AWS::Deadline::QueueEnvironment
AWS::Bedrock::DataSource AWS::Detective::OrganizationAdmin
