Glue

Interactive Sessions

AWS Glue Interactive Sessions allow data engineers to interactively explore and prepare data. Sessions in a ready state consume resources and incur costs even when idle.

Implementation Effort: Low - Estimated time: less than 30 minutes. Stop or terminate idle interactive sessions via console or CLI.

DevEndpoints (Deprecated)

!!! warning "Deprecated" AWS Glue Development Endpoints have been deprecated by AWS since 2024. No new Dev Endpoints can be created.

Implementation Effort: Medium - Estimated time: 2-4 hours. Migrate development workflows to Glue Interactive Sessions before deleting.

What We Detect

  • Idle Interactive Sessions -- Sessions in a ready state that are consuming DPUs while sitting idle
  • Legacy Dev Endpoints -- Deprecated resources that should be migrated to Interactive Sessions and deleted

Recommendations

  1. Stop idle Interactive Sessions that are no longer in use
  2. Configure idle session timeouts when creating new sessions
  3. Migrate any remaining Dev Endpoints to Interactive Sessions and delete them

Keep on chasing 🧡
