Flow :- Dynamo DB --> Lambda --> Batch

If a role arn is inserted in dynamo DB, it is retrieved from lambda event, it is then submitted to batch using submit_job API with role arn being passed as 

parameters={
    'role_arn': 'arn:aws:iam::accountid:role/role_name'
}

How to read the parameter value in python running in batch?

First you need to specify the parameter reference in your docker file or in AWS Batch job definition command like this

/usr/bin/python/pythoninbatch.py Ref::role_arn

In your Python file pythoninbatch.py handle the argument variable using sys package or argparse libray. 

sys.argv[1]

  • Thanks, it worked, I tried adding the argument in job definition and used sys package to retrieve the role_arn. – Gowtham Chand Feb 12 '18 at 06:15

    Finally, someone makes this very clear. This was not at all obvious to me from the AWS Batch documentation. Thank you! – Vito Sep 19 '19 at 15:50
