Summary

Expanded documentation for job run queuing feature with operational guidance, use cases, and VPC IP exhaustion limitations

Security assessment

Changes describe resource management and reliability features (job queuing behavior). The VPC IP exhaustion section provides operational best practices but doesn't address security vulnerabilities or introduce security controls. No evidence of security incident remediation.

+Job run queuing is recommended for:

+  * High-volume ETL workloads that may exceed concurrent job limits
+
+  * Automated pipelines that should be resilient to temporary resource constraints
+
+  * Non-time-sensitive batch processing jobs
+
+
+
+
+###### VPC IP Exhaustion Limitation
+
+For VPC-based jobs experiencing IP exhaustion: queuing will activate only if the IP shortage is detected at job launch time. If IP exhaustion occurs after the driver has started (during executor provisioning), the job will fail instead of being queued. To avoid this scenario:
+
+  * Ensure adequate IP addresses in your VPC subnets
+
+  * Use secondary CIDR blocks or larger subnet prefixes if needed
+
+  * Limit concurrent VPC job submissions during peak periods
+
+
+
+
+If this job-level setting differs from the job run-level setting specified when starting a job run, the job run-level setting takes precedence.
