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
applicationPackageReferences True

ApplicationPackageReference[]

The list of Application Packages to be installed on each Compute Node in the Pool.
The list replaces any existing Application Package references on 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. If omitted, or if you specify an empty collection, any existing Application Packages references are removed from the Pool. A maximum of 10 references may be specified on a given Pool.
certificateReferences True

CertificateReference[]

A list of Certificates to be installed on each Compute Node in the Pool.
This list replaces any existing Certificate references configured on the Pool. If you specify an empty collection, any existing Certificate references are removed from 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.
metadata True

MetadataItem[]

A list of name-value pairs associated with the Pool as metadata.
This list replaces any existing metadata configured on the Pool. If omitted, or if you specify an empty collection, any existing metadata is removed from the Pool.

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.
If this element is present, it overwrites any existing StartTask. If omitted, any existing StartTask is removed from the Pool.
targetNodeCommunicationMode

NodeCommunicationMode

The desired node communication mode for the pool.
This setting replaces any existing targetNodeCommunication setting on the Pool. If omitted, the existing setting is default.

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.

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.

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). It won't' mount any data paths into container if this array is set as empty.
containerRunOptions

string

Additional options to the container create command.
These additional options are supplied as arguments to the "docker create" command, in addition to those controlled by the Batch Service.
imageName

string

The Image to use to create the container in which the Task will run.
This is the full Image reference, as would be specified to "docker pull". If no tag is provided as part of the Image name, the tag ":latest" is used as a default.

The private registry which contains the container Image.
This setting can be omitted if was already provided at Pool creation.
workingDirectory

ContainerWorkingDirectory

The location of the container Task working directory.
The default is 'taskWorkingDirectory'.
