Steps
Define abortConfig.criteriaList entries in the CreateJob API request, each specifying failureType and action
Set failureType to FAILED, REJECTED, TIMED_OUT, or ALL depending on which execution outcome should trigger the abort
Set action to CANCEL (the only supported abort action) for each criteria entry
Set thresholdPercentage (up to 2 decimal places, max 100) and minNumberOfExecutedThings to avoid aborting on small sample sizes
Combine multiple criteria entries to cover different failure types with different thresholds
Monitor job execution status after rollout starts to confirm the abort trigger fires as expected
Known gotchas
action only supports CANCEL; there is no pause or rollback action in abortConfig itself
minNumberOfExecutedThings guards against aborting on statistically insignificant small batches -- omitting it lets one early failure abort the whole job
thresholdPercentage accepts only up to 2 decimal digits (e.g. 10.99), not arbitrary precision
