Service: batch · 2025-09-19 · Documentation low

File: batch/latest/userguide/job_stuck_in_runnable.md

Summary

Added new troubleshooting entry for unsupported instance type configurations in compute environments, including specific statusReason message and resolution steps. Renumbered subsequent entries.

Security assessment

The change addresses configuration errors and instance type compatibility issues, but does not indicate a security vulnerability or introduce security-related guidance. Focuses on operational troubleshooting rather than security controls.

+  5. **Reason:** Your compute environment has an unsupported instance type configuration. This can occur when instance types are not available in your selected Availability Zones, or when your launch template or launch configuration contains settings incompatible with the specified instance types. To resolve this, verify that your instance types are supported in your specified AWS Region and Availability Zones, check that your launch template settings are compatible with your instance types, and consider updating to newer generation instance types. For more information about finding supported instance types, see [Finding an Amazon EC2 instance type](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/instance-discovery.html) in the _Amazon EC2 User Guide_.
