AWS Glue - Surprising costs for data preview session

Question

Hello,

While building a job in AWS Glue (Amazon S3, Change Schema, AWS Glue Data Catalog), I had a surprising cost for data preview session (AWS Glue GlueInteractiveSession) of 91% of the total cost of the job, that seams to be due to automatically start of the session.

Is there a way to setup the default behaviour, that this session to be stopped until explicitly requested to start from the user ?

Thank you,  
Mihai

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can turn it off in the **Preferences** by toggling **Automatically start data preview sessions**.

Please refer AWS Documentation [Job editor features](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/job-editor-features.html).
