Job - Add

Service:

Batch Service

API Version:

2024-07-01.20.0

Adds a Job to the specified Account.
The Batch service supports two ways to control the work done as part of a Job. In the first approach, the user specifies a Job Manager Task. The Batch service launches this Task when it is ready to start the Job. The Job Manager Task controls all other Tasks that run under this Job, by using the Task APIs. In the second approach, the user directly controls the execution of Tasks under an active Job, by using the Task APIs. Also note: when naming Jobs, avoid including sensitive information such as user names or secret project names. This information may appear in telemetry logs accessible to Microsoft Support engineers.

POST {batchUrl}/jobs?api-version=2024-07-01.20.0

With optional parameters:

POST {batchUrl}/jobs?timeout={timeout}&api-version=2024-07-01.20.0

URI Parameters

Name	In	Required	Type	Description
batchUrl	path	True	string	The base URL for all Azure Batch service requests.
api-version	query	True	string	Client API Version.
timeout	query		integer int32	The maximum time that the server can spend processing the request, in seconds. The default is 30 seconds. If the value is larger than 30, the default will be used instead.

Request Header

Media Types: "application/json; odata=minimalmetadata"

Name	Required	Type	Description
client-request-id		string uuid	The caller-generated request identity, in the form of a GUID with no decoration such as curly braces, e.g. 9C4D50EE-2D56-4CD3-8152-34347DC9F2B0.
return-client-request-id		boolean	Whether the server should return the client-request-id in the response.
ocp-date		string date-time-rfc1123	The time the request was issued. Client libraries typically set this to the current system clock time; set it explicitly if you are calling the REST API directly.

Request Body

Media Types: "application/json; odata=minimalmetadata"

Name	Required	Type	Description
id	True	string	A string that uniquely identifies the Job within the Account. The ID can contain any combination of alphanumeric characters including hyphens and underscores, and cannot contain more than 64 characters. The ID is case-preserving and case-insensitive (that is, you may not have two IDs within an Account that differ only by case).
poolInfo	True	PoolInformation	The Pool on which the Batch service runs the Job's Tasks.
allowTaskPreemption		boolean	Whether Tasks in this job can be preempted by other high priority jobs If the value is set to True, other high priority jobs submitted to the system will take precedence and will be able requeue tasks from this job. You can update a job's allowTaskPreemption after it has been created using the update job API.
commonEnvironmentSettings		EnvironmentSetting[]	The list of common environment variable settings. These environment variables are set for all Tasks in the Job (including the Job Manager, Job Preparation and Job Release Tasks). Individual Tasks can override an environment setting specified here by specifying the same setting name with a different value.
constraints		JobConstraints	The execution constraints for a Job. The execution constraints for the Job.
displayName		string	The display name for the Job. The display name need not be unique and can contain any Unicode characters up to a maximum length of 1024.
jobManagerTask		JobManagerTask	Details of a Job Manager Task to be launched when the Job is started. If the Job does not specify a Job Manager Task, the user must explicitly add Tasks to the Job. If the Job does specify a Job Manager Task, the Batch service creates the Job Manager Task when the Job is created, and will try to schedule the Job Manager Task before scheduling other Tasks in the Job. The Job Manager Task's typical purpose is to control and/or monitor Job execution, for example by deciding what additional Tasks to run, determining when the work is complete, etc. (However, a Job Manager Task is not restricted to these activities - it is a fully-fledged Task in the system and perform whatever actions are required for the Job.) For example, a Job Manager Task might download a file specified as a parameter, analyze the contents of that file and submit additional Tasks based on those contents.
jobPreparationTask		JobPreparationTask	The Job Preparation Task. If a Job has a Job Preparation Task, the Batch service will run the Job Preparation Task on a Node before starting any Tasks of that Job on that Compute Node.
jobReleaseTask		JobReleaseTask	The Job Release Task. A Job Release Task cannot be specified without also specifying a Job Preparation Task for the Job. The Batch service runs the Job Release Task on the Nodes that have run the Job Preparation Task. The primary purpose of the Job Release Task is to undo changes to Compute Nodes made by the Job Preparation Task. Example activities include deleting local files, or shutting down services that were started as part of Job preparation.
maxParallelTasks		integer	The maximum number of tasks that can be executed in parallel for the job. The value of maxParallelTasks must be -1 or greater than 0 if specified. If not specified, the default value is -1, which means there's no limit to the number of tasks that can be run at once. You can update a job's maxParallelTasks after it has been created using the update job API.
metadata		MetadataItem[]	A list of name-value pairs associated with the Job as metadata. The Batch service does not assign any meaning to metadata; it is solely for the use of user code.
networkConfiguration		JobNetworkConfiguration	The network configuration for the Job.
onAllTasksComplete		OnAllTasksComplete	The action the Batch service should take when all Tasks in the Job are in the completed state. Note that if a Job contains no Tasks, then all Tasks are considered complete. This option is therefore most commonly used with a Job Manager task; if you want to use automatic Job termination without a Job Manager, you should initially set onAllTasksComplete to noaction and update the Job properties to set onAllTasksComplete to terminatejob once you have finished adding Tasks. The default is noaction.
onTaskFailure		OnTaskFailure	The action the Batch service should take when any Task in the Job fails. A Task is considered to have failed if has a failureInfo. A failureInfo is set if the Task completes with a non-zero exit code after exhausting its retry count, or if there was an error starting the Task, for example due to a resource file download error. The default is noaction.
priority		integer	The priority of the Job. Priority values can range from -1000 to 1000, with -1000 being the lowest priority and 1000 being the highest priority. The default value is 0.
usesTaskDependencies		boolean	Whether Tasks in the Job can define dependencies on each other. The default is false.

InboundNATPool

A inbound NAT Pool that can be used to address specific ports on Compute Nodes in a Batch Pool externally.

Name	Type	Description
backendPort	integer	The port number on the Compute Node. This must be unique within a Batch Pool. Acceptable values are between 1 and 65535 except for 22, 3389, 29876 and 29877 as these are reserved. If any reserved values are provided the request fails with HTTP status code 400.
frontendPortRangeEnd	integer	The last port number in the range of external ports that will be used to provide inbound access to the backendPort on individual Compute Nodes. Acceptable values range between 1 and 65534 except ports from 50000 to 55000 which are reserved by the Batch service. All ranges within a Pool must be distinct and cannot overlap. Each range must contain at least 40 ports. If any reserved or overlapping values are provided the request fails with HTTP status code 400.

JobAddParameter

An Azure Batch Job to add.

Name	Type	Default value	Description
allowTaskPreemption	boolean		Whether Tasks in this job can be preempted by other high priority jobs If the value is set to True, other high priority jobs submitted to the system will take precedence and will be able requeue tasks from this job. You can update a job's allowTaskPreemption after it has been created using the update job API.
commonEnvironmentSettings	EnvironmentSetting[]		The list of common environment variable settings. These environment variables are set for all Tasks in the Job (including the Job Manager, Job Preparation and Job Release Tasks). Individual Tasks can override an environment setting specified here by specifying the same setting name with a different value.
constraints	JobConstraints		The execution constraints for a Job. The execution constraints for the Job.
displayName	string		The display name for the Job. The display name need not be unique and can contain any Unicode characters up to a maximum length of 1024.
id	string		A string that uniquely identifies the Job within the Account. The ID can contain any combination of alphanumeric characters including hyphens and underscores, and cannot contain more than 64 characters. The ID is case-preserving and case-insensitive (that is, you may not have two IDs within an Account that differ only by case).
jobManagerTask	JobManagerTask		Details of a Job Manager Task to be launched when the Job is started. If the Job does not specify a Job Manager Task, the user must explicitly add Tasks to the Job. If the Job does specify a Job Manager Task, the Batch service creates the Job Manager Task when the Job is created, and will try to schedule the Job Manager Task before scheduling other Tasks in the Job. The Job Manager Task's typical purpose is to control and/or monitor Job execution, for example by deciding what additional Tasks to run, determining when the work is complete, etc. (However, a Job Manager Task is not restricted to these activities - it is a fully-fledged Task in the system and perform whatever actions are required for the Job.) For example, a Job Manager Task might download a file specified as a parameter, analyze the contents of that file and submit additional Tasks based on those contents.
jobPreparationTask	JobPreparationTask		The Job Preparation Task. If a Job has a Job Preparation Task, the Batch service will run the Job Preparation Task on a Node before starting any Tasks of that Job on that Compute Node.
jobReleaseTask	JobReleaseTask		The Job Release Task. A Job Release Task cannot be specified without also specifying a Job Preparation Task for the Job. The Batch service runs the Job Release Task on the Nodes that have run the Job Preparation Task. The primary purpose of the Job Release Task is to undo changes to Compute Nodes made by the Job Preparation Task. Example activities include deleting local files, or shutting down services that were started as part of Job preparation.
maxParallelTasks	integer	-1	The maximum number of tasks that can be executed in parallel for the job. The value of maxParallelTasks must be -1 or greater than 0 if specified. If not specified, the default value is -1, which means there's no limit to the number of tasks that can be run at once. You can update a job's maxParallelTasks after it has been created using the update job API.
metadata	MetadataItem[]		A list of name-value pairs associated with the Job as metadata. The Batch service does not assign any meaning to metadata; it is solely for the use of user code.
networkConfiguration	JobNetworkConfiguration		The network configuration for the Job.
onAllTasksComplete	OnAllTasksComplete		The action the Batch service should take when all Tasks in the Job are in the completed state. Note that if a Job contains no Tasks, then all Tasks are considered complete. This option is therefore most commonly used with a Job Manager task; if you want to use automatic Job termination without a Job Manager, you should initially set onAllTasksComplete to noaction and update the Job properties to set onAllTasksComplete to terminatejob once you have finished adding Tasks. The default is noaction.
onTaskFailure	OnTaskFailure		The action the Batch service should take when any Task in the Job fails. A Task is considered to have failed if has a failureInfo. A failureInfo is set if the Task completes with a non-zero exit code after exhausting its retry count, or if there was an error starting the Task, for example due to a resource file download error. The default is noaction.
poolInfo	PoolInformation		The Pool on which the Batch service runs the Job's Tasks.
priority	integer		The priority of the Job. Priority values can range from -1000 to 1000, with -1000 being the lowest priority and 1000 being the highest priority. The default value is 0.
usesTaskDependencies	boolean		Whether Tasks in the Job can define dependencies on each other. The default is false.

JobConstraints

The execution constraints for a Job.

Name	Type	Description
maxTaskRetryCount	integer	The maximum number of times each Task may be retried. The Batch service retries a Task if its exit code is nonzero. Note that this value specifically controls the number of retries. The Batch service will try each Task once, and may then retry up to this limit. For example, if the maximum retry count is 3, Batch tries a Task up to 4 times (one initial try and 3 retries). If the maximum retry count is 0, the Batch service does not retry Tasks. If the maximum retry count is -1, the Batch service retries Tasks without limit. The default value is 0 (no retries).
maxWallClockTime	string	The maximum elapsed time that the Job may run, measured from the time the Job is created. If the Job does not complete within the time limit, the Batch service terminates it and any Tasks that are still running. In this case, the termination reason will be MaxWallClockTimeExpiry. If this property is not specified, there is no time limit on how long the Job may run.

JobManagerTask

Specifies details of a Job Manager Task.

Name	Type	Description
allowLowPriorityNode	boolean	Whether the Job Manager Task may run on a Spot/Low-priority Compute Node. The default value is true.
applicationPackageReferences	ApplicationPackageReference[]	A list of Application Packages that the Batch service will deploy to the Compute Node before running the command line. Application Packages are downloaded and deployed to a shared directory, not the Task working directory. Therefore, if a referenced Application Package is already on the Compute Node, and is up to date, then it is not re-downloaded; the existing copy on the Compute Node is used. If a referenced Application Package cannot be installed, for example because the package has been deleted or because download failed, the Task fails.
authenticationTokenSettings	AuthenticationTokenSettings	The settings for an authentication token that the Task can use to perform Batch service operations. If this property is set, the Batch service provides the Task with an authentication token which can be used to authenticate Batch service operations without requiring an Account access key. The token is provided via the AZ_BATCH_AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN environment variable. The operations that the Task can carry out using the token depend on the settings. For example, a Task can request Job permissions in order to add other Tasks to the Job, or check the status of the Job or of other Tasks under the Job.
commandLine	string	The command line of the Job Manager Task. 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. If the command line refers to file paths, it should use a relative path (relative to the Task working directory), or use the Batch provided environment variable (https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/batch/batch-compute-node-environment-variables).
constraints	TaskConstraints	Constraints that apply to the Job Manager Task.
containerSettings	TaskContainerSettings	The settings for the container under which the Job Manager Task runs. If the Pool that will run this Task has containerConfiguration set, this must be set as well. If the Pool that will run this Task doesn't have containerConfiguration set, this must not be set. When this is specified, all directories recursively below the AZ_BATCH_NODE_ROOT_DIR (the root of Azure Batch directories on the node) are mapped into the container, all Task environment variables are mapped into the container, and the Task command line is executed in the container. Files produced in the container outside of AZ_BATCH_NODE_ROOT_DIR might not be reflected to the host disk, meaning that Batch file APIs will not be able to access those files.
displayName	string	The display name of the Job Manager Task. It need not be unique and can contain any Unicode characters up to a maximum length of 1024.
environmentSettings	EnvironmentSetting[]	A list of environment variable settings for the Job Manager Task.
id	string	A string that uniquely identifies the Job Manager Task within the Job. The ID can contain any combination of alphanumeric characters including hyphens and underscores and cannot contain more than 64 characters.
killJobOnCompletion	boolean	Whether completion of the Job Manager Task signifies completion of the entire Job. If true, when the Job Manager Task completes, the Batch service marks the Job as complete. If any Tasks are still running at this time (other than Job Release), those Tasks are terminated. If false, the completion of the Job Manager Task does not affect the Job status. In this case, you should either use the onAllTasksComplete attribute to terminate the Job, or have a client or user terminate the Job explicitly. An example of this is if the Job Manager creates a set of Tasks but then takes no further role in their execution. The default value is true. If you are using the onAllTasksComplete and onTaskFailure attributes to control Job lifetime, and using the Job Manager Task only to create the Tasks for the Job (not to monitor progress), then it is important to set killJobOnCompletion to false.
outputFiles	OutputFile[]	A list of files that the Batch service will upload from the Compute Node after running the command line. For multi-instance Tasks, the files will only be uploaded from the Compute Node on which the primary Task is executed.
requiredSlots	integer	The number of scheduling slots that the Task requires to run. The default is 1. A Task can only be scheduled to run on a compute node if the node has enough free scheduling slots available. For multi-instance Tasks, this property is not supported and must not be specified.
resourceFiles	ResourceFile[]	A list of files that the Batch service will download to the Compute Node before running the command line. Files listed under this element are located in the Task's working directory. There is a maximum size for the list of resource files. When the max size is exceeded, the request will fail and the response error code will be RequestEntityTooLarge. If this occurs, the collection of ResourceFiles must be reduced in size. This can be achieved using .zip files, Application Packages, or Docker Containers.
runExclusive	boolean	Whether the Job Manager Task requires exclusive use of the Compute Node where it runs. If true, no other Tasks will run on the same Node for as long as the Job Manager is running. If false, other Tasks can run simultaneously with the Job Manager on a Compute Node. The Job Manager Task counts normally against the Compute Node's concurrent Task limit, so this is only relevant if the Compute Node allows multiple concurrent Tasks. The default value is true.
userIdentity	UserIdentity	The user identity under which the Job Manager Task runs. If omitted, the Task runs as a non-administrative user unique to the Task.

JobNetworkConfiguration

The network configuration for the Job.

Name	Type	Description
skipWithdrawFromVNet	boolean	Whether to withdraw Compute Nodes from the virtual network to DNC when the job is terminated or deleted. If true, nodes will remain joined to the virtual network to DNC. If false, nodes will automatically withdraw when the job ends. Defaults to false.
subnetId	string	The ARM resource identifier of the virtual network subnet which Compute Nodes running Tasks from the Job will join for the duration of the Task. The virtual network must be in the same region and subscription as the Azure Batch Account. The specified subnet should have enough free IP addresses to accommodate the number of Compute Nodes which will run Tasks from the Job. This can be up to the number of Compute Nodes in the Pool. The 'MicrosoftAzureBatch' service principal must have the 'Classic Virtual Machine Contributor' Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) role for the specified VNet so that Azure Batch service can schedule Tasks on the Nodes. This can be verified by checking if the specified VNet has any associated Network Security Groups (NSG). If communication to the Nodes in the specified subnet is denied by an NSG, then the Batch service will set the state of the Compute Nodes to unusable. This is of the form /subscriptions/{subscription}/resourceGroups/{group}/providers/{provider}/virtualNetworks/{network}/subnets/{subnet}. If the specified VNet has any associated Network Security Groups (NSG), then a few reserved system ports must be enabled for inbound communication from the Azure Batch service. For Pools created with a Virtual Machine configuration, enable ports 29876 and 29877, as well as port 22 for Linux and port 3389 for Windows. Port 443 is also required to be open for outbound connections for communications to Azure Storage. For more details see: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/batch/batch-api-basics#virtual-network-vnet-and-firewall-configuration

JobPreparationTask

A Job Preparation Task to run before any Tasks of the Job on any given Compute Node.

Name	Type	Description
commandLine	string	The command line of the Job Preparation Task. 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. If the command line refers to file paths, it should use a relative path (relative to the Task working directory), or use the Batch provided environment variable (https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/batch/batch-compute-node-environment-variables).
constraints	TaskConstraints	Constraints that apply to the Job Preparation Task.
containerSettings	TaskContainerSettings	The settings for the container under which the Job Preparation Task runs. When this is specified, all directories recursively below the AZ_BATCH_NODE_ROOT_DIR (the root of Azure Batch directories on the node) are mapped into the container, all Task environment variables are mapped into the container, and the Task command line is executed in the container. Files produced in the container outside of AZ_BATCH_NODE_ROOT_DIR might not be reflected to the host disk, meaning that Batch file APIs will not be able to access those files.
environmentSettings	EnvironmentSetting[]	A list of environment variable settings for the Job Preparation Task.
id	string	A string that uniquely identifies the Job Preparation Task within the Job. The ID can contain any combination of alphanumeric characters including hyphens and underscores and cannot contain more than 64 characters. If you do not specify this property, the Batch service assigns a default value of 'jobpreparation'. No other Task in the Job can have the same ID as the Job Preparation Task. If you try to submit a Task with the same id, the Batch service rejects the request with error code TaskIdSameAsJobPreparationTask; if you are calling the REST API directly, the HTTP status code is 409 (Conflict).
rerunOnNodeRebootAfterSuccess	boolean	Whether the Batch service should rerun the Job Preparation Task after a Compute Node reboots. The Job Preparation Task is always rerun if a Compute Node is reimaged, or if the Job Preparation Task did not complete (e.g. because the reboot occurred while the Task was running). Therefore, you should always write a Job Preparation Task to be idempotent and to behave correctly if run multiple times. The default value is true.
resourceFiles	ResourceFile[]	A list of files that the Batch service will download to the Compute Node before running the command line. Files listed under this element are located in the Task's working directory. There is a maximum size for the list of resource files. When the max size is exceeded, the request will fail and the response error code will be RequestEntityTooLarge. If this occurs, the collection of ResourceFiles must be reduced in size. This can be achieved using .zip files, Application Packages, or Docker Containers.
userIdentity	UserIdentity	The user identity under which the Job Preparation Task runs. If omitted, the Task runs as a non-administrative user unique to the Task on Windows Compute Nodes, or a non-administrative user unique to the Pool on Linux Compute Nodes.
waitForSuccess	boolean	Whether the Batch service should wait for the Job Preparation Task to complete successfully before scheduling any other Tasks of the Job on the Compute Node. A Job Preparation Task has completed successfully if it exits with exit code 0. If true and the Job Preparation Task fails on a Node, the Batch service retries the Job Preparation Task up to its maximum retry count (as specified in the constraints element). If the Task has still not completed successfully after all retries, then the Batch service will not schedule Tasks of the Job to the Node. The Node remains active and eligible to run Tasks of other Jobs. If false, the Batch service will not wait for the Job Preparation Task to complete. In this case, other Tasks of the Job can start executing on the Compute Node while the Job Preparation Task is still running; and even if the Job Preparation Task fails, new Tasks will continue to be scheduled on the Compute Node. The default value is true.

JobReleaseTask

A Job Release Task to run on Job completion on any Compute Node where the Job has run.

Name	Type	Description
commandLine	string	The command line of the Job Release Task. 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. If the command line refers to file paths, it should use a relative path (relative to the Task working directory), or use the Batch provided environment variable (https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/batch/batch-compute-node-environment-variables).
containerSettings	TaskContainerSettings	The settings for the container under which the Job Release Task runs. When this is specified, all directories recursively below the AZ_BATCH_NODE_ROOT_DIR (the root of Azure Batch directories on the node) are mapped into the container, all Task environment variables are mapped into the container, and the Task command line is executed in the container. Files produced in the container outside of AZ_BATCH_NODE_ROOT_DIR might not be reflected to the host disk, meaning that Batch file APIs will not be able to access those files.
environmentSettings	EnvironmentSetting[]	A list of environment variable settings for the Job Release Task.
id	string	A string that uniquely identifies the Job Release Task within the Job. The ID can contain any combination of alphanumeric characters including hyphens and underscores and cannot contain more than 64 characters. If you do not specify this property, the Batch service assigns a default value of 'jobrelease'. No other Task in the Job can have the same ID as the Job Release Task. If you try to submit a Task with the same id, the Batch service rejects the request with error code TaskIdSameAsJobReleaseTask; if you are calling the REST API directly, the HTTP status code is 409 (Conflict).
maxWallClockTime	string	The maximum elapsed time that the Job Release Task may run on a given Compute Node, measured from the time the Task starts. If the Task does not complete within the time limit, the Batch service terminates it. The default value is 15 minutes. You may not specify a timeout longer than 15 minutes. If you do, the Batch service rejects it with an error; if you are calling the REST API directly, the HTTP status code is 400 (Bad Request).
resourceFiles	ResourceFile[]	A list of files that the Batch service will download to the Compute Node before running the command line. There is a maximum size for the list of resource files. When the max size is exceeded, the request will fail and the response error code will be RequestEntityTooLarge. If this occurs, the collection of ResourceFiles must be reduced in size. This can be achieved using .zip files, Application Packages, or Docker Containers. Files listed under this element are located in the Task's working directory.
retentionTime	string	The minimum time to retain the Task directory for the Job Release Task on the Compute Node. After this time, the Batch service may delete the Task directory and all its contents. The default is 7 days, i.e. the Task directory will be retained for 7 days unless the Compute Node is removed or the Job is deleted.
userIdentity	UserIdentity	The user identity under which the Job Release Task runs. If omitted, the Task runs as a non-administrative user unique to the Task.

LinuxUserConfiguration

Properties used to create a user Account on a Linux Compute Node.

Name	Type	Description
gid	integer	The group ID for the user Account. The uid and gid properties must be specified together or not at all. If not specified the underlying operating system picks the gid.
sshPrivateKey	string	The SSH private key for the user Account. The private key must not be password protected. The private key is used to automatically configure asymmetric-key based authentication for SSH between Compute Nodes in a Linux Pool when the Pool's enableInterNodeCommunication property is true (it is ignored if enableInterNodeCommunication is false). It does this by placing the key pair into the user's .ssh directory. If not specified, password-less SSH is not configured between Compute Nodes (no modification of the user's .ssh directory is done).
uid	integer	The user ID of the user Account. The uid and gid properties must be specified together or not at all. If not specified the underlying operating system picks the uid.

LoginMode

The login mode for the user

Name	Type	Description
batch	string	The LOGON32_LOGON_BATCH Win32 login mode. The batch login mode is recommended for long running parallel processes.
interactive	string	The LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE Win32 login mode. UAC is enabled on Windows Pools. If this option is used with an elevated user identity in a Windows Pool, the user session will not be elevated unless the application executed by the Task command line is configured to always require administrative privilege or to always require maximum privilege.

NetworkConfiguration

The network configuration for a Pool.

Name	Type	Description
dynamicVNetAssignmentScope	DynamicVNetAssignmentScope	The scope of dynamic vnet assignment.
enableAcceleratedNetworking	boolean	Whether this pool should enable accelerated networking. Accelerated networking enables single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) to a VM, which may lead to improved networking performance. For more details, see: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-network/accelerated-networking-overview.
endpointConfiguration	PoolEndpointConfiguration	The configuration for endpoints on Compute Nodes in the Batch Pool.
publicIPAddressConfiguration	PublicIPAddressConfiguration	The Public IPAddress configuration for Compute Nodes in the Batch Pool. The public IP Address configuration of the networking configuration of a Pool.
subnetId	string	The ARM resource identifier of the virtual network subnet which the Compute Nodes of the Pool will join. This is of the form /subscriptions/{subscription}/resourceGroups/{group}/providers/{provider}/virtualNetworks/{network}/subnets/{subnet}. The virtual network must be in the same region and subscription as the Azure Batch Account. The specified subnet should have enough free IP addresses to accommodate the number of Compute Nodes in the Pool. If the subnet doesn't have enough free IP addresses, the Pool will partially allocate Nodes and a resize error will occur. The 'MicrosoftAzureBatch' service principal must have the 'Classic Virtual Machine Contributor' Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) role for the specified VNet. The specified subnet must allow communication from the Azure Batch service to be able to schedule Tasks on the Nodes. This can be verified by checking if the specified VNet has any associated Network Security Groups (NSG). If communication to the Nodes in the specified subnet is denied by an NSG, then the Batch service will set the state of the Compute Nodes to unusable. Only ARM virtual networks ('Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks') are supported. If the specified VNet has any associated Network Security Groups (NSG), then a few reserved system ports must be enabled for inbound communication. Enable ports 29876 and 29877, as well as port 22 for Linux and port 3389 for Windows. Also enable outbound connections to Azure Storage on port 443. For more details see: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/batch/batch-api-basics#virtual-network-vnet-and-firewall-configuration

Brackets can include a negation to match any character not specified (for example [!abc] matches any character but a, b, or c). If a file name starts with "." it is ignored by default but may be matched by specifying it explicitly (for example .gif will not match .a.gif, but ..gif will). A simple example: ***.txt matches any file that does not start in '.' and ends with .txt in the Task working directory or any subdirectory. If the filename contains a wildcard character it can be escaped using brackets (for example abc[] would match a file named abc). Note that both \ and / are treated as directory separators on Windows, but only / is on Linux. Environment variables (%var% on Windows or $var on Linux) are expanded prior to the pattern being applied.

OutputFileBlobContainerDestination

Specifies a file upload destination within an Azure blob storage container.

Name	Type	Description
containerUrl	string	The URL of the container within Azure Blob Storage to which to upload the file(s). If not using a managed identity, the URL must include a Shared Access Signature (SAS) granting write permissions to the container.
identityReference	ComputeNodeIdentityReference	The reference to the user assigned identity to use to access Azure Blob Storage specified by containerUrl The identity must have write access to the Azure Blob Storage container
path	string	The destination blob or virtual directory within the Azure Storage container. If filePattern refers to a specific file (i.e. contains no wildcards), then path is the name of the blob to which to upload that file. If filePattern contains one or more wildcards (and therefore may match multiple files), then path is the name of the blob virtual directory (which is prepended to each blob name) to which to upload the file(s). If omitted, file(s) are uploaded to the root of the container with a blob name matching their file name.
uploadHeaders	HttpHeader[]	A list of name-value pairs for headers to be used in uploading output files These headers will be specified when uploading files to Azure Storage.

This cannot be specified if the IPAddressProvisioningType is NoPublicIPAddresses.

PoolInformation

Specifies how a Job should be assigned to a Pool.

Name	Type	Description
autoPoolSpecification	AutoPoolSpecification	Characteristics for a temporary 'auto pool'. The Batch service will create this auto Pool when the Job is submitted. If auto Pool creation fails, the Batch service moves the Job to a completed state, and the Pool creation error is set in the Job's scheduling error property. The Batch service manages the lifetime (both creation and, unless keepAlive is specified, deletion) of the auto Pool. Any user actions that affect the lifetime of the auto Pool while the Job is active will result in unexpected behavior. You must specify either the Pool ID or the auto Pool specification, but not both.
poolId	string	The ID of an existing Pool. All the Tasks of the Job will run on the specified Pool. You must ensure that the Pool referenced by this property exists. If the Pool does not exist at the time the Batch service tries to schedule a Job, no Tasks for the Job will run until you create a Pool with that id. Note that the Batch service will not reject the Job request; it will simply not run Tasks until the Pool exists. You must specify either the Pool ID or the auto Pool specification, but not both.

PoolLifetimeOption

The minimum lifetime of created auto Pools, and how multiple Jobs on a schedule are assigned to Pools.

Name	Type	Description
job	string	The Pool exists for the lifetime of the Job to which it is dedicated. The Batch service creates the Pool when it creates the Job. If the 'job' option is applied to a Job Schedule, the Batch service creates a new auto Pool for every Job created on the schedule.
jobschedule	string	The Pool exists for the lifetime of the Job Schedule. The Batch Service creates the Pool when it creates the first Job on the schedule. You may apply this option only to Job Schedules, not to Jobs.

PoolSpecification

Specification for creating a new Pool.

Name	Type	Description
applicationPackageReferences	ApplicationPackageReference[]	The list of Packages to be installed on each Compute Node in the Pool. When creating a pool, the package's application ID must be fully qualified (/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Batch/batchAccounts/{accountName}/applications/{applicationName}). Changes to Package references affect all new 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 Package references on any given Pool.
autoScaleEvaluationInterval	string	The time interval at which to automatically adjust the Pool size according to the autoscale formula. The default value is 15 minutes. The minimum and maximum value are 5 minutes and 168 hours respectively. If you specify a value less than 5 minutes or greater than 168 hours, the Batch service rejects the request with an invalid property value error; if you are calling the REST API directly, the HTTP status code is 400 (Bad Request).
autoScaleFormula	string	The formula for the desired number of Compute Nodes in the Pool. This property must not be specified if enableAutoScale is set to false. It is required if enableAutoScale is set to true. The formula is checked for validity before the Pool is created. If the formula is not valid, the Batch service rejects the request with detailed error information.
certificateReferences	CertificateReference[]	A list of Certificates to be installed on each Compute Node in the Pool. For Windows 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.
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.
enableAutoScale	boolean	Whether the Pool size should automatically adjust over time. If false, at least one of targetDedicatedNodes and targetLowPriorityNodes must be specified. If true, the autoScaleFormula element is required. The Pool automatically resizes according to the formula. The default value is false.
enableInterNodeCommunication	boolean	Whether the Pool permits direct communication between Compute Nodes. Enabling inter-node communication limits the maximum size of the Pool due to deployment restrictions on the Compute Nodes of the Pool. This may result in the Pool not reaching its desired size. The default value is false.
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.
mountConfiguration	MountConfiguration[]	A list of file systems to mount on each node in the pool. This supports Azure Files, NFS, CIFS/SMB, and Blobfuse.
networkConfiguration	NetworkConfiguration	The network configuration for the Pool. The network configuration for a Pool.
resizeTimeout	string	The timeout for allocation of Compute Nodes to the Pool. This timeout applies only to manual scaling; it has no effect when enableAutoScale is set to true. The default value is 15 minutes. The minimum value is 5 minutes. If you specify a value less than 5 minutes, the Batch service rejects the request with an error; if you are calling the REST API directly, the HTTP status code is 400 (Bad Request).
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'.
startTask	StartTask	A Task to run on each Compute Node as it joins the Pool. The Task runs when the Compute Node is added to the Pool or when the Compute Node is restarted. Batch will retry Tasks when a recovery operation is triggered on a Node. Examples of recovery operations include (but are not limited to) when an unhealthy Node is rebooted or a Compute Node disappeared due to host failure. Retries due to recovery operations are independent of and are not counted against the maxTaskRetryCount. Even if the maxTaskRetryCount is 0, an internal retry due to a recovery operation may occur. Because of this, all Tasks should be idempotent. This means Tasks need to tolerate being interrupted and restarted without causing any corruption or duplicate data. The best practice for long running Tasks is to use some form of checkpointing. In some cases the StartTask may be re-run even though the Compute Node was not rebooted. Special care should be taken to avoid StartTasks which create breakaway process or install/launch services from the StartTask working directory, as this will block Batch from being able to re-run the StartTask.
targetDedicatedNodes	integer	The desired number of dedicated Compute Nodes in the Pool. This property must not be specified if enableAutoScale is set to true. If enableAutoScale is set to false, then you must set either targetDedicatedNodes, targetLowPriorityNodes, or both.
targetLowPriorityNodes	integer	The desired number of Spot/Low-priority Compute Nodes in the Pool. This property must not be specified if enableAutoScale is set to true. If enableAutoScale is set to false, then you must set either targetDedicatedNodes, targetLowPriorityNodes, or both.
targetNodeCommunicationMode	NodeCommunicationMode	The desired node communication mode for the pool. If omitted, the default value is Default.
taskSchedulingPolicy	TaskSchedulingPolicy	How Tasks are distributed across Compute Nodes in a Pool. If not specified, the default is spread.
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.

userAccounts	UserAccount[]	The list of user Accounts to be created on each Compute Node in the Pool.
virtualMachineConfiguration	VirtualMachineConfiguration	The virtual machine configuration for the Pool. This property must be specified.
vmSize	string	The size of the virtual machines in the Pool. All virtual machines in a Pool are the same size. For information about available sizes of virtual machines in Pools, see Choose a VM size for Compute Nodes in an Azure Batch Pool (https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/batch/batch-pool-vm-sizes).

PublicIPAddressConfiguration

The public IP Address configuration of the networking configuration of a Pool.

Name	Type	Description
ipAddressIds	string[]	The list of public IPs which the Batch service will use when provisioning Compute Nodes. The number of IPs specified here limits the maximum size of the Pool - 100 dedicated nodes or 100 Spot/Low-priority nodes can be allocated for each public IP. For example, a pool needing 250 dedicated VMs would need at least 3 public IPs specified. Each element of this collection is of the form: /subscriptions/{subscription}/resourceGroups/{group}/providers/Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses/{ip}.
provision	IPAddressProvisioningType	The provisioning type for Public IP Addresses for the Pool. The default value is BatchManaged.

ResourceFile

A single file or multiple files to be downloaded to a Compute Node.

Name	Type	Description
autoStorageContainerName	string	The storage container name in the auto storage Account. The autoStorageContainerName, storageContainerUrl and httpUrl properties are mutually exclusive and one of them must be specified.
blobPrefix	string	The blob prefix to use when downloading blobs from an Azure Storage container. Only the blobs whose names begin with the specified prefix will be downloaded. The property is valid only when autoStorageContainerName or storageContainerUrl is used. This prefix can be a partial filename or a subdirectory. If a prefix is not specified, all the files in the container will be downloaded.
fileMode	string	The file permission mode attribute in octal format. This property applies only to files being downloaded to Linux Compute Nodes. It will be ignored if it is specified for a resourceFile which will be downloaded to a Windows Compute Node. If this property is not specified for a Linux Compute Node, then a default value of 0770 is applied to the file.
filePath	string	The location on the Compute Node to which to download the file(s), relative to the Task's working directory. If the httpUrl property is specified, the filePath is required and describes the path which the file will be downloaded to, including the filename. Otherwise, if the autoStorageContainerName or storageContainerUrl property is specified, filePath is optional and is the directory to download the files to. In the case where filePath is used as a directory, any directory structure already associated with the input data will be retained in full and appended to the specified filePath directory. The specified relative path cannot break out of the Task's working directory (for example by using '..').
httpUrl	string	The URL of the file to download. The autoStorageContainerName, storageContainerUrl and httpUrl properties are mutually exclusive and one of them must be specified. If the URL points to Azure Blob Storage, it must be readable from compute nodes. There are three ways to get such a URL for a blob in Azure storage: include a Shared Access Signature (SAS) granting read permissions on the blob, use a managed identity with read permission, or set the ACL for the blob or its container to allow public access.
identityReference	ComputeNodeIdentityReference	The reference to the user assigned identity to use to access Azure Blob Storage specified by storageContainerUrl or httpUrl The reference to a user assigned identity associated with the Batch pool which a compute node will use.
storageContainerUrl	string	The URL of the blob container within Azure Blob Storage. The autoStorageContainerName, storageContainerUrl and httpUrl properties are mutually exclusive and one of them must be specified. This URL must be readable and listable from compute nodes. There are three ways to get such a URL for a container in Azure storage: include a Shared Access Signature (SAS) granting read and list permissions on the container, use a managed identity with read and list permissions, or set the ACL for the container to allow public access.

RollingUpgradePolicy

The configuration parameters used while performing a rolling upgrade.

Name	Type	Description
enableCrossZoneUpgrade	boolean	Allow VMSS to ignore AZ boundaries when constructing upgrade batches. Take into consideration the Update Domain and maxBatchInstancePercent to determine the batch size. This field is able to be set to true or false only when using NodePlacementConfiguration as Zonal.
maxBatchInstancePercent	integer	The maximum percent of total virtual machine instances that will be upgraded simultaneously by the rolling upgrade in one batch. As this is a maximum, unhealthy instances in previous or future batches can cause the percentage of instances in a batch to decrease to ensure higher reliability. The value of this field should be between 5 and 100, inclusive. If both maxBatchInstancePercent and maxUnhealthyInstancePercent are assigned with value, the value of maxBatchInstancePercent should not be more than maxUnhealthyInstancePercent.
maxUnhealthyInstancePercent	integer	The maximum percentage of the total virtual machine instances in the scale set that can be simultaneously unhealthy, either as a result of being upgraded, or by being found in an unhealthy state by the virtual machine health checks before the rolling upgrade aborts. This constraint will be checked prior to starting any batch. The value of this field should be between 5 and 100, inclusive. If both maxBatchInstancePercent and maxUnhealthyInstancePercent are assigned with value, the value of maxBatchInstancePercent should not be more than maxUnhealthyInstancePercent.
maxUnhealthyUpgradedInstancePercent	integer	The maximum percentage of upgraded virtual machine instances that can be found to be in an unhealthy state. This check will happen after each batch is upgraded. If this percentage is ever exceeded, the rolling update aborts. The value of this field should be between 0 and 100, inclusive.

StartTask

A Task which is run when a Node joins a Pool in the Azure Batch service, or when the Compute Node is rebooted or reimaged.

Name	Type	Description
commandLine	string	The command line of the StartTask. 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. If the command line refers to file paths, it should use a relative path (relative to the Task working directory), or use the Batch provided environment variable (https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/batch/batch-compute-node-environment-variables).
containerSettings	TaskContainerSettings	The settings for the container under which the StartTask runs. When this is specified, all directories recursively below the AZ_BATCH_NODE_ROOT_DIR (the root of Azure Batch directories on the node) are mapped into the container, all Task environment variables are mapped into the container, and the Task command line is executed in the container. Files produced in the container outside of AZ_BATCH_NODE_ROOT_DIR might not be reflected to the host disk, meaning that Batch file APIs will not be able to access those files.
environmentSettings	EnvironmentSetting[]	A list of environment variable settings for the StartTask.
maxTaskRetryCount	integer	The maximum number of times the Task may be retried. The Batch service retries a Task if its exit code is nonzero. Note that this value specifically controls the number of retries. 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, however this is not recommended for a start task or any task. The default value is 0 (no retries).
resourceFiles	ResourceFile[]	A list of files that the Batch service will download to the Compute Node before running the command line. There is a maximum size for the list of resource files. When the max size is exceeded, the request will fail and the response error code will be RequestEntityTooLarge. If this occurs, the collection of ResourceFiles must be reduced in size. This can be achieved using .zip files, Application Packages, or Docker Containers. Files listed under this element are located in the Task's working directory.
userIdentity	UserIdentity	The user identity under which the StartTask runs. If omitted, the Task runs as a non-administrative user unique to the Task.
waitForSuccess	boolean	Whether the Batch service should wait for the StartTask to complete successfully (that is, to exit with exit code 0) before scheduling any Tasks on the Compute Node. If true and the StartTask fails on a Node, the Batch service retries the StartTask up to its maximum retry count (maxTaskRetryCount). If the Task has still not completed successfully after all retries, then the Batch service marks the Node unusable, and will not schedule Tasks to it. This condition can be detected via the Compute Node state and failure info details. If false, the Batch service will not wait for the StartTask to complete. In this case, other Tasks can start executing on the Compute Node while the StartTask is still running; and even if the StartTask fails, new Tasks will continue to be scheduled on the Compute Node. The default is true.

StorageAccountType

The storage Account type for use in creating data disks or OS disk.

Name	Type	Description
premium_lrs	string	The data disk / OS disk should use premium locally redundant storage.
standard_lrs	string	The data disk / OS disk should use standard locally redundant storage.
standardssd_lrs	string	The data disk / OS disk should use standard SSD locally redundant storage.

TaskConstraints

Execution constraints to apply to a Task.

Name	Type	Description
maxTaskRetryCount	integer	The maximum number of times the Task may be retried. The Batch service retries a Task if its exit code is nonzero. Note that this value specifically controls the number of retries for the Task executable due to a nonzero exit code. 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 after the first attempt. If the maximum retry count is -1, the Batch service retries the Task without limit, however this is not recommended for a start task or any task. The default value is 0 (no retries).
maxWallClockTime	string	The maximum elapsed time that the Task may run, measured from the time the Task starts. If the Task does not complete within the time limit, the Batch service terminates it. If this is not specified, there is no time limit on how long the Task may run.
retentionTime	string	The minimum time to retain the Task directory on the Compute Node where it ran, from the time it completes execution. After this time, the Batch service may delete the Task directory and all its contents. The default is 7 days, i.e. the Task directory will be retained for 7 days unless the Compute Node is removed or the Job is deleted.

TaskContainerSettings

The container settings for a Task.

Name	Type	Description
containerHostBatchBindMounts	ContainerHostBatchBindMountEntry[]	The paths you want to mounted to container task. If this array is null or be not present, container task will mount entire temporary disk drive in windows (or AZ_BATCH_NODE_ROOT_DIR in Linux).
