Quickstart: Create a Batch account by using a Bicep file

  • Alt

Get started with Azure Batch by using a Bicep file to create a Batch account, including storage. You need a Batch account to create compute resources (pools of compute nodes) and Batch jobs. You can link an Azure Storage account with your Batch account, which is useful to deploy applications and store input and output data for most real-world workloads.

After completing this quickstart, you'll understand the key concepts of the Batch service and be ready to try Batch with more realistic workloads at larger scale.

Bicep is a domain-specific language (DSL) that uses declarative syntax to deploy Azure resources. It provides concise syntax, reliable type safety, and support for code reuse. Bicep offers the best authoring experience for your infrastructure-as-code solutions in Azure.

Prerequisites

You must have an active Azure subscription.

Review the Bicep file

The Bicep file used in this quickstart is from Azure Quickstart Templates.

@description('Batch Account Name')
param batchAccountName string = '${toLower(uniqueString(resourceGroup().id))}batch'

@description('Storage Account type')
@allowed([
  'Standard_LRS'
  'Standard_GRS'
  'Standard_ZRS'
  'Premium_LRS'
])
param storageAccountsku string = 'Standard_LRS'

@description('Location for all resources.')
param location string = resourceGroup().location

var storageAccountName = '${uniqueString(resourceGroup().id)}storage'

resource storageAccount 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts@2023-01-01' = {
  name: storageAccountName
  location: location
  sku: {
    name: storageAccountsku
  }
  kind: 'StorageV2'
  tags: {
    ObjectName: storageAccountName
  }
  properties: {
    minimumTlsVersion: 'TLS1_2'
    allowBlobPublicAccess: false
    networkAcls: {
      defaultAction: 'Deny'
    }
    supportsHttpsTrafficOnly: true
  }
}

resource batchAccount 'Microsoft.Batch/batchAccounts@2024-02-01' = {
  name: batchAccountName
  location: location
  tags: {
    ObjectName: batchAccountName
  }
  properties: {
    autoStorage: {
      storageAccountId: storageAccount.id
    }
  }
}

output storageAccountName string = storageAccount.name
output batchAccountName string = batchAccount.name
output location string = location
output resourceGroupName string = resourceGroup().name
output resourceId string = batchAccount.id

Two Azure resources are defined in the Bicep file:

Deploy the Bicep file

  1. Save the Bicep file as main.bicep to your local computer.

  2. Deploy the Bicep file using either Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell.

    az group create --name exampleRG --location eastus
az deployment group create --resource-group exampleRG --template-file main.bicep

    When the deployment finishes, you should see a message indicating the deployment succeeded.

Validate the deployment

Use the Azure portal, Azure CLI, or Azure PowerShell to list the deployed resources in the resource group.

az resource list --resource-group exampleRG

Clean up resources

If you plan to continue on with more of our tutorials, you may want to leave these resources in place. When no longer needed, use the Azure portal, Azure CLI, or Azure PowerShell to delete the resource group and all of its resources.

az group delete --name exampleRG

Next steps

In this quickstart, you created a Batch account and a storage account using Bicep. To learn more about Azure Batch, continue to the Azure Batch tutorials.
