Submitting a job

When submitting a job for execution you need to specify the following information:

Image coordinates.
Input JSON message, adhering to the input JSON schema defined in the image manifest.

and optionally:

Number of vCPUs to use.
Amount of memory to allocate.
Number of GPUs to use.
Timeout or maximum run time, after a cancellation is automatically done.

tip

If the input validation succeeds then BatchX schedules the job for execution and returns an incremental number (per-environment) as job id.

info

Job executions can be cached, if an equivalent job is found.

In order to submit a job using the CLI:

Make sure you have completed the CLI installation.
Submit the job by using the bx submit or bx run commands.
