What service automates the management of infrastructure similar to traditional batch computing software?

AWS Batch is the service that automates the management of batch computing workloads, allowing users to efficiently run hundreds or thousands of batch computing jobs. It eliminates the need for users to provision or manage infrastructure, making it similar to traditional batch computing software but with the added benefits of cloud scalability. AWS Batch automatically provisions the optimal quantity and type of compute resources (e.g., CPU or GPU instances) based on the volume and requirements of the batch jobs submitted. This service is particularly useful for users who need to handle large-scale batch processing, like data analysis or processing, without having to manage the underlying infrastructure.

In contrast, AWS Lambda focuses on serverless computing and runs code in response to events, which isn't specifically designed for traditional batch processing jobs. AWS Glue is primarily an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) service for preparing and loading data for analytics rather than dedicated batch processing. Amazon Kinesis is designed for real-time data streaming rather than batch processing jobs, making it less relevant in the context of automated batch management. Thus, AWS Batch is the most fitting choice for automating infrastructure in a manner akin to traditional batch computing software.
