These code samples will show you how to manage Batch using Azure SDK for Python.

Features

This project framework provides examples for the following services:

Batch

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  1. Before we run the samples, we need to make sure we have setup the credentials. Follow the instructions in register a new application using Azure portal to obtain subscription id,client id,client secret, and application id

  2. Store your credentials an environment variables. For example, in Linux-based OS, you can do

export AZURE_TENANT_ID="xxx"
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID="xxx"
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET="xxx"
export SUBSCRIPTION_ID="xxx"

Installation

  1. If you don't already have it, install Python.

    This sample (and the SDK) is compatible with Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.

  2. General recommendation for Python development is to use a Virtual Environment. For more information, see https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html

    Install and initialize the virtual environment with the "venv" module on Python 3 (you must install virtualenv for Python 2.7):

    python -m venv mytestenv # Might be "python3" or "py -3.6" depending on your Python installation
cd mytestenv
source bin/activate      # Linux shell (Bash, ZSH, etc.) only
./scripts/activate       # PowerShell only
./scripts/activate.bat   # Windows CMD only

Quickstart

  1. Clone the repository.

    git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-samples-python-management.git

  2. Install the dependencies using pip.

    cd azure-samples-python-management/samples/batch
pip install -r requirements.txt

Demo

A demo app is included to show how to use the project.

To run the complete demo, execute python example.py

To run each individual demo, point directly to the file. For example (i.e. not complete list):

  1. python manage_application.py

If the script starts with disable_***.py, it means that it is unavailable now.

The sample files do not have dependency each other and each file represents an individual end-to-end scenario. Please look at the sample that contains the scenario you are interested in
