Client library for running large-scale parallel and high-performance computing (HPC) batch jobs in Azure. Azure Batch account Pool configured with compute nodes Azure subscription | Concept | Description | |---------|-------------| | Pool | Collection of compute nodes that run tasks | | Job | Logical grouping of tasks | | Task | Unit of computation (command/script) | | Node | VM that executes tasks | | Job Schedule | Recurring job creation | 1. Use Entra ID — Preferred over shared key for authentication 2. Use management SDK for pools — azure-resourcemanager-batch supports managed identities 3. Batch task creation — Use createTaskCollection or createTasks for multiple tasks 4. Handle LRO properly — Pool resize, delete operations are long-running 5. Monitor task counts — Use getJobTaskCounts to track progress 6. Set constraints — Configure maxWallClockTime and maxTaskRetryCount 7. Use low-priority nodes — Cost savings for fault-tolerant workloads 8. Enable autoscale — Dynamically adjust pool size based on workload | Resource | URL | |----------|-----| | Maven Package | https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.azure/azure-compute-batch | | GitHub | https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk
