Creates a new pool inside the specified account.

PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Batch/batchAccounts/{accountName}/pools/{poolName}?api-version=2024-07-01

URI Parameters

Name In Required Type Description
accountName
 path True

string

The name of the Batch account.

Regex pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$
poolName
 path True

string

The pool name. This must be unique within the account.

Regex pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$
resourceGroupName
 path True

string

The name of the resource group that contains the Batch account.
subscriptionId
 path True

string

The Azure subscription ID. This is a GUID-formatted string (e.g. 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)
api-version
 query True

string

The API version to be used with the HTTP request.

Request Header

Name Required Type Description
If-Match

string

The entity state (ETag) version of the pool to update. A value of "*" can be used to apply the operation only if the pool already exists. If omitted, this operation will always be applied.
If-None-Match

string

Set to '*' to allow a new pool to be created, but to prevent updating an existing pool. Other values will be ignored.

Request Body

Name Type Description
identity

BatchPoolIdentity

The type of identity used for the Batch Pool.
The type of identity used for the Batch Pool.
properties.applicationLicenses

string[]

The list of application licenses the Batch service will make available on each compute node in the pool.
The list of application licenses must be a subset of available Batch service application licenses. If a license is requested which is not supported, pool creation will fail.
properties.applicationPackages

ApplicationPackageReference[]

The list of application packages to be installed on each compute node in the pool.
Changes to application package references affect all new compute nodes joining the pool, but do not affect compute nodes that are already in the pool until they are rebooted or reimaged. There is a maximum of 10 application package references on any given pool.
properties.certificates

CertificateReference[]

The list of certificates to be installed on each compute node in the pool.
For Windows compute nodes, the Batch service installs the certificates to the specified certificate store and location. For Linux compute nodes, the certificates are stored in a directory inside the task working directory and an environment variable AZ_BATCH_CERTIFICATES_DIR is supplied to the task to query for this location. For certificates with visibility of 'remoteUser', a 'certs' directory is created in the user's home directory (e.g., /home/{user-name}/certs) and certificates are placed in that directory.

Warning: This property is deprecated and will be removed after February, 2024. Please use the Azure KeyVault Extension instead.
properties.deploymentConfiguration

DeploymentConfiguration

This property describes the virtual machines that the pool nodes will be deployed on.
properties.displayName

string

The display name for the pool.
The display name need not be unique and can contain any Unicode characters up to a maximum length of 1024.
properties.interNodeCommunication

InterNodeCommunicationState

Whether the pool permits direct communication between nodes.
This imposes restrictions on which nodes can be assigned to the pool. Enabling this value can reduce the chance of the requested number of nodes to be allocated in the pool. If not specified, this value defaults to 'Disabled'.
properties.metadata

MetadataItem[]

A list of name-value pairs associated with the pool as metadata.
The Batch service does not assign any meaning to metadata; it is solely for the use of user code.
properties.mountConfiguration

MountConfiguration[]

A list of file systems to mount on each node in the pool.
This supports Azure Files, NFS, CIFS/SMB, and Blobfuse.
properties.networkConfiguration

NetworkConfiguration

The network configuration for the pool.
The network configuration for a pool.
properties.resourceTags

object

The user-specified tags associated with the pool.
The user-defined tags to be associated with the Azure Batch Pool. When specified, these tags are propagated to the backing Azure resources associated with the pool. This property can only be specified when the Batch account was created with the poolAllocationMode property set to 'UserSubscription'.
properties.scaleSettings

ScaleSettings

Settings which configure the number of nodes in the pool.
Defines the desired size of the pool. This can either be 'fixedScale' where the requested targetDedicatedNodes is specified, or 'autoScale' which defines a formula which is periodically reevaluated. If this property is not specified, the pool will have a fixed scale with 0 targetDedicatedNodes.
properties.startTask

StartTask

A task specified to run on each compute node as it joins the pool.
In an PATCH (update) operation, this property can be set to an empty object to remove the start task from the pool.
properties.targetNodeCommunicationMode

NodeCommunicationMode

The desired node communication mode for the pool.
If omitted, the default value is Default.
properties.taskSchedulingPolicy

TaskSchedulingPolicy

How tasks are distributed across compute nodes in a pool.
If not specified, the default is spread.
properties.taskSlotsPerNode

integer

The number of task slots that can be used to run concurrent tasks on a single compute node in the pool.
The default value is 1. The maximum value is the smaller of 4 times the number of cores of the vmSize of the pool or 256.
properties.upgradePolicy

UpgradePolicy

The upgrade policy for the pool.
Describes an upgrade policy - automatic, manual, or rolling.
properties.userAccounts

UserAccount[]

The list of user accounts to be created on each node in the pool.
properties.vmSize

string

The size of virtual machines in the pool. All VMs in a pool are the same size.
For information about available VM sizes, see Sizes for Virtual Machines (Linux) (https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-sizes/) or Sizes for Virtual Machines (Windows) (https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-windows-sizes/). Batch supports all Azure VM sizes except STANDARD_A0 and those with premium storage (STANDARD_GS, STANDARD_DS, and STANDARD_DSV2 series).
tags

object

The tags of the resource.

The command line does not run under a shell, and therefore cannot take advantage of shell features such as environment variable expansion. If you want to take advantage of such features, you should invoke the shell in the command line, for example using "cmd /c MyCommand" in Windows or "/bin/sh -c MyCommand" in Linux. Required if any other properties of the startTask are specified.

The Batch service will try the task once, and may then retry up to this limit. For example, if the maximum retry count is 3, Batch tries the task up to 4 times (one initial try and 3 retries). If the maximum retry count is 0, the Batch service does not retry the task. If the maximum retry count is -1, the Batch service retries the task without limit. Default is 0

waitForSuccess

boolean

Whether the Batch service should wait for the start task to complete successfully (that is, to exit with exit code 0) before scheduling any tasks on the compute node.
If true and the start task fails on a compute node, the Batch service retries the start task up to its maximum retry count (maxTaskRetryCount). If the task has still not completed successfully after all retries, then the Batch service marks the compute node unusable, and will not schedule tasks to it. This condition can be detected via the node state and scheduling error detail. If false, the Batch service will not wait for the start task to complete. In this case, other tasks can start executing on the compute node while the start task is still running; and even if the start task fails, new tasks will continue to be scheduled on the node. The default is true.
