az batch pool resizing

Question

will resizing the pool in azure batch account to increase node count effect the running nodes

Answer 1

Hello @123jhon ,

Thank you for reaching microsoft Q&A platform.
Is your question related to managed compute instance or cluster?
Compute instances come only with one node by default, however compute clusters has a setting to do so. If the question is directly related to azure machine learning computes(AML), then for AML, you need to edit the setting on AML portal. how-to-create-attach-compute-cluster

If you are referring to resize document in azure batch, You can only resize a Pool when its allocation state is steady. When you resize a Pool, the Pool's allocation state changes from steady to resizing, this doesn't affect any running tasks on the existing nodes.

You cannot resize Pools which are configured for automatic scaling. If you try to do this, the Batch service returns an error 409.
