Glue waste check
Old Glue Job

What it finds
Old Glue Job: one of the Glue checks in the analytics optimization group. Checks in this group look for: analytics and streaming capacity that is idle, left running, oversized, or configured in a way that bills more than the workload needs.
Why it costs money
Clusters, streams and jobs bill while they exist, so a forgotten or over-provisioned one costs the same as a busy one.
How it is detected
Runs in the partner build and the paid hosted tiers.
AWS's own tools
None of Trusted Advisor, Cost Optimization Hub or Compute Optimizer flags this.
Checked against the AWS documentation.
Where this check runs
This check ships in the partner build, for consultancies that scan client accounts, and in the paid hosted tiers.
