maxCapacity

The number of Glue data processing units (DPUs) that are allocated to task runs for this transform. You can allocate from 2 to 100 DPUs; the default is 10. A DPU is a relative measure of processing power that consists of 4 vCPUs of compute capacity and 16 GB of memory. For more information, see the Glue pricing page.

MaxCapacity is a mutually exclusive option with NumberOfWorkers and WorkerType.

  • If either NumberOfWorkers or WorkerType is set, then MaxCapacity cannot be set.

  • If MaxCapacity is set then neither NumberOfWorkers or WorkerType can be set.

  • If WorkerType is set, then NumberOfWorkers is required (and vice versa).

  • MaxCapacity and NumberOfWorkers must both be at least 1.

When the WorkerType field is set to a value other than Standard, the MaxCapacity field is set automatically and becomes read-only.
