Microsoft Azure Batch

Azure Batch is Microsoft’s managed job-scheduling and cluster-management service for large-scale parallel and high-performance computing workloads. You describe pools of virtual machines, jobs and tasks through a REST API; Batch allocates the compute, schedules the work across it, retries failures, and scales the pool up and down against a formula you supply. Microsoft publishes two machine-readable contracts for it in the open azure-rest-api-specs repository: a 72-operation data plane per Batch account, and a 42-operation Azure Resource Manager control plane for the accounts themselves. There is no charge for Batch; you pay for the virtual machines, storage and networking the pools consume, with Spot VMs as the discount lever. Authentication is Microsoft Entra ID OAuth 2.0 (or a legacy shared key), and effective permission comes from Azure RBAC rather than from OAuth scopes.

Microsoft Azure Batch publishes 16 APIs on the APIs.io network, including microsoft-azure-batch Jobs API, microsoft-azure-batch Pools API, microsoft-azure-batch Tasks API, and 13 more. Tagged areas include Batch, Compute, Job Scheduling, High Performance Computing, and Cloud.

Microsoft Azure Batch’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, pricing, support, engineering blog, documentation, API reference, and 37 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/microsoft-azure-batch: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

description: 'Azure Batch is Microsoft’s managed job-scheduling and cluster-management service for large-scale parallel and
  high-performance computing workloads. You describe pools of virtual machines, jobs and tasks through a REST API; Batch allocates
  the compute, schedules the work across it, retries failures, and scales the pool up and down against a formula you supply.
  Microsoft publishes two machine-readable contracts for it in the open azure-rest-api-specs repository: a 72-operation data
  plane per Batch account, and a 42-operation Azure Resource Manager control plane for the accounts themselves. There is no
  charge for Batch; you pay for the virtual machines, storage and networking the pools consume, with Spot VMs as the discount
  lever. Authentication is Microsoft Entra ID OAuth 2.0 (or a legacy shared key), and effective permission comes from Azure
  RBAC rather than from OAuth scopes.'
