Description

I am using Nextflow with AWS Batch and a Spot Fargate compute environment. I have a job that was terminated with "Your Spot Task was interrupted." but I also see environment variables like "AWS_MAX_ATTEMPTS 5" and "AWS_RETRY_MODE standard". Has retry with Fargate not been implemented or have I missed a configuration somewhere?

The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by checking Nextflow's AWS Batch and Spot Fargate configuration and retry documentation, then determine whether AWS_MAX_ATTEMPTS and AWS_RETRY_MODE apply to interrupted Spot tasks. Done means confirming the supported behavior and identifying any required configuration or implementation gap.
