Ensure Glue job retry configuration is set appropriately
Job retry attempts should be configured to handle transient failures without excessive retries that waste costs.
Security Impact
Excessive retries waste costs on permanent failures. Insufficient retries cause unnecessary job failures.
How to Remediate
Configure 2-3 retry attempts for jobs. Implement proper error handling in job code to distinguish transient vs permanent failures.
