Workflow design in AWS Ec2 instances not involving lambda


Thanks in advance for your time and answers.


Solution

  • But is there a better and preferred way to achieve this ?

    Yes. The preferred way nowadays is to use AWS Step Functions which is (sort of) an improved, simplified and clean version of Amazon Simple Workflow. Since you have a precompiled executables running in a sequential order it might be worth it to also take a look at AWS Batch.

    Step Functions are basically Lambda functions, but you can ship you executables with the deployment package and execute them from Lambda functions.
