Release History

3.0.0 (2017-05-10)

• Added support for the new low-priority node type; AddPoolParameter and PoolSpecification now have an additional property target_low_priority_nodes.

• target_dedicated and current_dedicated on CloudPool, AddPoolParameter and PoolSpecification have been renamed to target_dedicated_nodes and current_dedicated_nodes.

• resize_error on CloudPool is now a collection called resize_errors.

• Added a new is_dedicated property on ComputeNode, which is false for low-priority nodes.

• Added a new allow_low_priority_node property to JobManagerTask, which if true allows the JobManagerTask to run on a low-priority compute node.

• PoolResizeParameter now takes two optional parameters, target_dedicated_nodes and target_low_priority_nodes, instead of one required parameter target_dedicated. At least one of these two parameters must be specified.

• Added support for uploading task output files to persistent storage, via the OutputFiles property on CloudTask and JobManagerTask.

• Added support for specifying actions to take based on a task’s output file upload status, via the file_upload_error property on ExitConditions.

• Added support for determining if a task was a success or a failure via the new result property on all task execution information objects.

• Renamed scheduling_error on all task execution information objects to failure_information. TaskFailureInformation replaces TaskSchedulingError and is returned any time there is a task failure. This includes all previous scheduling error cases, as well as nonzero task exit codes, and file upload failures from the new output files feature.

• Renamed SchedulingErrorCategory enum to ErrorCategory.

• Renamed scheduling_error on ExitConditions to pre_processing_error to more clearly clarify when the error took place in the task life-cycle.

• Added support for provisioning application licenses to your pool, via a new application_licenses property on PoolAddParameter, CloudPool and PoolSpecification. Please note that this feature is in gated public preview, and you must request access to it via a support ticket.

• The ssh_private_key attribute of a UserAccount object has been replaced with an expanded LinuxUserConfiguration object with additional settings for a user ID and group ID of the user account.

• Removed unmapped enum state from AddTaskStatus, CertificateFormat, CertificateVisibility, CertStoreLocation, ComputeNodeFillType, OSType, and PoolLifetimeOption as they were not ever used.

• Improved and clarified documentation.

2.0.1 (2017-04-19)

• This wheel package is now built with the azure wheel extension

2.0.0 (2017-02-23)

• AAD token authentication now supported.

• Some operation names have changed (along with their associated parameter model classes): * pool.list_pool_usage_metrics -> pool.list_usage_metrics * pool.get_all_pools_lifetime_statistics -> pool.get_all_lifetime_statistics * job.get_all_jobs_lifetime_statistics -> job.get_all_lifetime_statistics * file.get_node_file_properties_from_task -> file.get_properties_from_task * file.get_node_file_properties_from_compute_node -> file.get_properties_from_compute_node

• The attribute ‘file_name’ in relation to file operations has been renamed to ‘file_path’.

• Change in naming convention for enum values to use underscores: e.g. StartTaskState.waitingforstarttask -> StartTaskState.waiting_for_start_task.

• Support for running tasks under a predefined or automatic user account. This includes tasks, job manager tasks, job preparation and release tasks and pool start tasks. This feature replaces the previous ‘run_elevated’ option on a task.

• Tasks now have an optional scoped authentication token (only applies to tasks and job manager tasks).

• Support for creating pools with a list of user accounts.

• Support for creating pools using a custom VM image (only supported on accounts created with a “User Subscription” pool allocation mode).
