Release History

8.0.0 (2019-8-5)

• Using REST API version 2019-08-01.10.0.

  • Added ability to specify a collection of public IPs on NetworkConfiguration via the new public_ips property. This guarantees nodes in the Pool will have an IP from the list user provided IPs.

  • Added ability to mount remote file-systems on each node of a pool via the mount_configuration property on CloudPool.

  • Shared Image Gallery images can now be specified on the virtual_machine_image_id property of ImageReference by referencing the image via its ARM ID.

  • Breaking When not specified, the default value for wait_for_success on StartTask is now True (was False).

  • Breaking When not specified, the default value for scope on AutoUserSpecification is now always Pool (was Task on Windows nodes, Pool on Linux nodes).

7.0.0 (2019-6-11)

• Using REST API version 2019-06-01.9.0.

  • Breaking Replaced AccountOperations.list_node_agent_skus with AccountOperations.list_supported_images. list_supported_images contains all of the same information originally available in list_node_agent_skus but in a clearer format. New non-verified images are also now returned. Additional information about capabilities and batch_support_end_of_life is accessible on the ImageInformation object returned by list_supported_images.

  • Now support network security rules blocking network access to a CloudPool based on the source port of the traffic. This is done via the source_port_ranges property on network_security_group_rules.

  • When running a container, Batch now supports executing the task in the container working directory or in the Batch task working directory. This is controlled by the working_directory property on TaskContainerSettings.

6.0.1 (2019-2-26)

• Fix bug in TaskOperations.add_collection methods exception handling

6.0.0 (2018-12-14)

• Using REST API version 2018-12-01.8.0.

  • Breaking Removed support for the upgrade_os API on CloudServiceConfiguration pools.

    • Removed PoolOperations.upgrade_os API.

    • Renamed target_os_version to os_version and removed current_os_version on CloudServiceConfiguration.

    • Removed upgrading state from PoolState enum.

  • Breaking Removed data_egress_gi_b and data_ingress_gi_b from PoolUsageMetrics. These properties are no longer supported.

  • Breaking ResourceFile improvements

    • Added the ability specify an entire Azure Storage container in ResourceFile. There are now three supported modes for ResourceFile:

      • http_url creates a ResourceFile pointing to a single HTTP URL.

      • storage_container_url creates a ResourceFile pointing to the blobs under an Azure Blob Storage container.

      • auto_storage_container_name creates a ResourceFile pointing to the blobs under an Azure Blob Storage container in the Batch registered auto-storage account.

    • URLs provided to ResourceFile via the http_url property can now be any HTTP URL. Previously, these had to be an Azure Blob Storage URL.

    • The blobs under the Azure Blob Storage container can be filtered by blob_prefix property.

  • Breaking Removed os_disk property from VirtualMachineConfiguration. This property is no longer supported.

  • Pools which set the dynamic_vnet_assignment_scope on NetworkConfiguration to be DynamicVNetAssignmentScope.job can now dynamically assign a Virtual Network to each node the job’s tasks run on. The specific Virtual Network to join the nodes to is specified in the new network_configuration property on CloudJob and JobSpecification.

    • Note: This feature is in public preview. It is disabled for all Batch accounts except for those which have contacted us and requested to be in the pilot.

  • The maximum lifetime of a task is now 180 days (previously it was 7).

  • Added support on Windows pools for creating users with a specific login mode (either batch or interactive) via WindowsUserConfiguration.login_mode.

  • The default task retention time for all tasks is now 7 days, previously it was infinite.

• Breaking Renamed the base_url parameter to batch_url on BatchServiceClient class, and it is required now.

5.1.1 (2018-10-16)

  • If tasks are too large to be submitted in chunks of 100, reduces number of tasks per request.

  • Add a parameter to specify number of threads to use when submitting tasks.

5.0.0 (2018-08-24)

• Using REST API version 2018-08-01.7.0.

  • Added node_agent_info in ComputeNode to return the node agent information

  • Breaking Removed the validation_status property from TaskCounts.

  • Breaking The default caching type for DataDisk and OSDisk is now read_write instead of none.

  • Operation TaskOperations.update

  • Operation ComputeNodeOperations.reimage

  • Operation ComputeNodeOperations.disable_scheduling

  • Operation ComputeNodeOperations.reboot

4.1.0 (2018-03-07)

• Using REST API version 2018-03-01.6.1.

• Added the ability to query pool node counts by state, via the new list_pool_node_counts method.

• Added the ability to upload Azure Batch node agent logs from a particular node, via the upload_batch_service_logs method.

  • This is intended for use in debugging by Microsoft support when there are problems on a node.

4.0.0 (2017-09-25)

• Using REST API version 2017-09-01.6.0.

• Added the ability to get a discount on Windows VM pricing if you have on-premises licenses for the OS SKUs you are deploying, via license_type on VirtualMachineConfiguration.

• Added support for attaching empty data drives to VirtualMachineConfiguration based pools, via the new data_disks attribute on VirtualMachineConfiguration.

• Breaking Custom images must now be deployed using a reference to an ARM Image, instead of pointing to .vhd files in blobs directly.

  • The new virtual_machine_image_id property on ImageReference contains the reference to the ARM Image, and OSDisk.image_uris no longer exists.

  • Because of this, image_reference is now a required attribute of VirtualMachineConfiguration.

• Breaking Multi-instance tasks (created using MultiInstanceSettings) must now specify a coordination_commandLine, and number_of_instances is now optional and defaults to 1.

• Added support for tasks run using Docker containers. To run a task using a Docker container you must specify a container_configuration on the VirtualMachineConfiguration for a pool, and then add container_settings on the Task.

• 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.
