AWS Batch and Singularity Containers

0

I am interested in using AWS batch. in the documentation I see that it can be used to run docker containers. However, I have a singularity container that I would like to run. Can AWS batch work with singularity containers?

You can use Singularity containers with it through Seqera Containers, a project supported by AWS.

However, AWS Batch is a scheduler optimized for cost performance, job priority, and throughput, so for quick responses, services like Amazon ECS or Amazon EKS might be more suitable.

    thanks so much. in looking at Amazon ECS, do you know if it can natively support a singularity container? Or would it need to be convered to a Docker container?
