Azure Batch Samples

Build status

This GitHub repository contains a set of HPC and Batch related samples that demonstrate the usage of Microsoft Azure Batch services along with some general purpose utilities. See http://azure.microsoft.com/services/batch/ for more information on the Azure Batch service.

Batch Account

Before you can interact with the Batch service, you will need a Batch service account. For detailed information on creating a Batch account, see Create and manage an Azure Batch account in the Azure portal.

Azure Storage viewer

You will find it useful to have an Azure Storage viewer available to assist with managing containers and blobs, as well as observing interaction of the samples with Storage. There are a number of free viewers available including the Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer which is cross-platform, free, and from Microsoft.

Batch Explorer

If you would like to visualize the samples as they run try Batch Explorer. Batch Explorer is a client side tool which can assist with creating, debugging and monitoring Azure Batch Applications.
