A nightly Glue ETL job silently fails some weeks — dashboards go stale before anyone notices. What's the standard way to get alerted on job failures?
A.Poll the Glue console daily
Manual checks don't scale and miss failures between checks.
B.EventBridge rule on Glue job-state-change events → SNS alert
Correct. EventBridge → SNS is the standard failure-alert chain.
C.Enable S3 access logging on the output bucket
Access logs record S3 requests, not job success.
D.Increase the job's retry count
Retries mask failures — they don't notify anyone.
Why this answer
Glue emits job state-change events to EventBridge; a rule on FAILED states triggers SNS (or Lambda for auto-remediation) — the designed event-driven alerting pattern for pipeline failures.
