My wheelhouse is lower on the stack, so I'm curious as to what you mean by "stateless single machine job" -- do you just mean that it runs from start to end, without options for suspension/migration/resumption/etc.?

it's a pretty generic term but in my mind I was thinking of a job that ran on a machine with remote attached storage (EBS, S3, etc); the state I meant was local storage.
