aws glue job dependency in step function

Question

I've created 2 glue jobs (gluejob1, gluejob2).

I want create a dependency as gluejob2 should run only after gluejob1 is completed.

To orchestrate this, I created a step function with below definition:

 {
  "gluejob1": {
    "Type": "Task",
    "Resource": "gluejob1.Arn",
    "Comment": "Glue job1.",
    "Next": "gluejob2"
  },

  "gluejob2": {
    "Type": "Task",
    "Resource": "gluejob2.Arn",
    "Comment": "TGlue job2.",
    "Next": "Gluejob2 Finished Loading"
  },
  "Gluejob2 Finished Loading": {
    "Type": "Pass",
    "Result": "",
    "End": true
  }
}

When I execute this step function, state function calls it a success the moment it triggers the Gluejob1 and moves on to trigger gluejob2.

I'm wondering if there is a possibility to run gluejob2 only after gluejob1 completes.

You can invoke Glue job from StepFunction synchronously so that it will wait for job completion:

{
  "StartAt": "gluejob1",
  "States": {
    "gluejob1": {
      "Type": "Task",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:states:::glue:startJobRun.sync",
      "Parameters": {
        "JobName.$": "ETLJobName1"
      },
      "Next": "gluejob2"
    },
    "gluejob2": {
      "Type": "Task",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:states:::glue:startJobRun.sync",
      "Parameters": {
        "JobName.$": "ETLJobName2"
      },
      "Next": "Gluejob2 Finished Loading"
    },
    "Gluejob2 Finished Loading": {
      "Type": "Pass",
      "Result": "",
      "End": true
    }
}
