Add support for AWS Batch?

[nielsdrost]

Amazon has made AWS Batch available for all:

https://aws.amazon.com/documentation/batch/

We should see if it makes sense to add support for it to Xenon

Seems to use docker as a container you run on the nodes ?

From what I can tell (in the 30 seconds I browsed through the docs), you can define your own queues and submit jobs to them (based on docker). These are then run whenever amazon has resources available to adhere to your limitiations (e.g., cost).

It does sound like single node jobs only ... but for many applications that is more than enough

Implementation should be in xenon-adaptors-cloud repo, see xenon-middleware/xenon-adaptors-cloud#10 issue continuation.
