This quickstart shows you how to get started with Azure Batch by running an app that uses the Azure Batch libraries for Python. The Python app:
- Uploads several input data files to an Azure Storage blob container to use for Batch task processing.
- Creates a pool of two virtual machines (VMs), or compute nodes, running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
- Creates a job and three tasks to run on the nodes. Each task processes one of the input files by using a Bash shell command line.
- Displays the output files that the tasks return.
After you complete this quickstart, you understand the key concepts of the Batch service and are ready to use Batch with more realistic, larger scale workloads.
Prerequisites
An Azure account with an active subscription. If you don't have one, create an account for free.
A Batch account with a linked Azure Storage account. You can create the accounts by using any of the following methods: Azure CLI | Azure portal | Bicep | ARM template | Terraform.
