cancel_job

cancel_job(**kwargs)

Cancels a job in an Batch job queue. Jobs that are in the SUBMITTED , PENDING , or RUNNABLE state are canceled. Jobs that progressed to the STARTING or RUNNING state aren't canceled. However, the API operation still succeeds, even if no job is canceled. These jobs must be terminated with the TerminateJob operation.
