+description: |-
+    Provides details about a batch compute environment
+---
+
+# Data Source: aws_batch_compute_environment
+
+The Batch Compute Environment data source allows access to details of a specific
+compute environment within AWS Batch.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```hcl
+data "aws_batch_compute_environment" "batch-mongo" {
+  compute_environment_name = "batch-mongo-production"
+}
+```
+
+## Argument Reference
+
+The following arguments are supported:
+
+* `compute_environment_name` - (Required) The name of the Batch Compute Environment
+
+## Attributes Reference
+
+The following attributes are exported:
+
+* `arn` - The ARN of the compute environment.
+* `ecs_cluster_arn` - The ARN of the underlying Amazon ECS cluster used by the compute environment.
+* `service_role` - The ARN of the IAM role that allows AWS Batch to make calls to other AWS services on your behalf.
+* `type` - The type of the compute environment (for example, `MANAGED` or `UNMANAGED`).
+* `status` - The current status of the compute environment (for example, `CREATING` or `VALID`).
+* `status_reason` - A short, human-readable string to provide additional details about the current status of the compute environment.
+* `state` - The state of the compute environment (for example, `ENABLED` or `DISABLED`). If the state is `ENABLED`, then the compute environment accepts jobs from a queue and can scale out automatically based on queues.
