Azure Batch SDK for Java
Client library for running large-scale parallel and high-performance computing (HPC) batch jobs in Azure.
Installation
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-compute-batch</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-beta.5</version>
</dependency>
Prerequisites
- Azure Batch account
- Pool configured with compute nodes
- Azure subscription
Environment Variables
AZURE_BATCH_ENDPOINT=https://<account>.<region>.batch.azure.com
AZURE_BATCH_ACCOUNT=<account-name>
AZURE_BATCH_ACCESS_KEY=<account-key>
Client Creation
With Microsoft Entra ID (Recommended)
import com.azure.compute.batch.BatchClient;
import com.azure.compute.batch.BatchClientBuilder;
import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder;
BatchClient batchClient = new BatchClientBuilder()
.credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
.endpoint(System.getenv("AZURE_BATCH_ENDPOINT"))
.buildClient();
Async Client
import com.azure.compute.batch.BatchAsyncClient;
BatchAsyncClient batchAsyncClient = new BatchClientBuilder()
.credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
.endpoint(System.getenv("AZURE_BATCH_ENDPOINT"))
.buildAsyncClient();
With Shared Key Credentials
import com.azure.core.credential.AzureNamedKeyCredential;
String accountName = System.getenv("AZURE_BATCH_ACCOUNT");
String accountKey = System.getenv("AZURE_BATCH_ACCESS_KEY");
AzureNamedKeyCredential sharedKeyCreds = new AzureNamedKeyCredential(accountName, accountKey);
BatchClient batchClient = new BatchClientBuilder()
.credential(sharedKeyCreds)
.endpoint(System.getenv("AZURE_BATCH_ENDPOINT"))
.buildClient();
Key Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Pool | Collection of compute nodes that run tasks |
| Job | Logical grouping of tasks |
| Task | Unit of computation (command/script) |
| Node | VM that executes tasks |
| Job Schedule | Recurring job creation |
Pool Operations
Create Pool
import com.azure.compute.batch.models.*;
batchClient.createPool(new BatchPoolCreateParameters("myPoolId", "STANDARD_DC2s_V2")
.setVirtualMachineConfiguration(
new VirtualMachineConfiguration(
new BatchVmImageReference()
.setPublisher("Canonical")
.setOffer("UbuntuServer")
.setSku("22_04-lts")
.setVersion("latest"),
"batch.node.ubuntu 22.04"))
.setTargetDedicatedNodes(2)
.setTargetLowPriorityNodes(0), null);
Get Pool
BatchPool pool = batchClient.getPool("myPoolId");
System.out.println("Pool state: " + pool.getState());
System.out.println("Current dedicated nodes: " + pool.getCurrentDedicatedNodes());
List Pools
import com.azure.core.http.rest.PagedIterable;
PagedIterable<BatchPool> pools = batchClient.listPools();
for (BatchPool pool : pools) {
System.out.println("Pool: " + pool.getId() + ", State: " + pool.getState());
}
Resize Pool
import com.azure.core.util.polling.SyncPoller;
BatchPoolResizeParameters resizeParams = new BatchPoolResizeParameters()
.setTargetDedicatedNodes(4)
.setTargetLowPriorityNodes(2);
SyncPoller<BatchPool, BatchPool> poller = batchClient.beginResizePool("myPoolId", resizeParams);
poller.waitForCompletion();
BatchPool resizedPool = poller.getFinalResult();
Enable AutoScale
BatchPoolEnableAutoScaleParameters autoScaleParams = new BatchPoolEnableAutoScaleParameters()
.setAutoScaleEvaluationInterval(Duration.ofMinutes(5))
.setAutoScaleFormula("$TargetDedicatedNodes = min(10, $PendingTasks.GetSample(TimeInterval_Minute * 5));");
batchClient.enablePoolAutoScale("myPoolId", autoScaleParams);
Delete Pool
SyncPoller<BatchPool, Void> deletePoller = batchClient.beginDeletePool("myPoolId");
deletePoller.waitForCompletion();
Job Operations
Create Job
batchClient.createJob(
new BatchJobCreateParameters("myJobId", new BatchPoolInfo().setPoolId("myPoolId"))
.setPriority(100)
.setConstraints(new BatchJobConstraints()
.setMaxWallClockTime(Duration.ofHours(24))
.setMaxTaskRetryCount(3)),
null);
Get Job
BatchJob job = batchClient.getJob("myJobId", null, null);
System.out.println("Job state: " + job.getState());
List Jobs
PagedIterable<BatchJob> jobs = batchClient.listJobs(new BatchJobsListOptions());
for (BatchJob job : jobs) {
System.out.println("Job: " + job.getId() + ", State: " + job.getState());
}
Get Task Counts
BatchTaskCountsResult counts = batchClient.getJobTaskCounts("myJobId");
System.out.println("Active: " + counts.getTaskCounts().getActive());
System.out.println("Running: " + counts.getTaskCounts().getRunning());
System.out.println("Completed: " + counts.getTaskCounts().getCompleted());
