Job

Source: src/AWS/MediaConvert/Job.ts

An AWS Elemental MediaConvert transcode job — a one-shot request to convert an input in S3 into one or more outputs. Jobs are immutable once submitted: they run to COMPLETE, ERROR, or CANCELED on their own. Deleting the resource cancels the job only if it is still SUBMITTED or PROGRESSING.

A live job is slow and billable — it requires input/output S3 objects and an IAM role MediaConvert can assume. Drive it behind an environment gate in tests rather than on every run.
