Upcoming Release

Version 3.4.0

• Added new property Encryption of type EncryptionProperties to AccountCreateParameters.
  • Configures how customer data is encrypted inside the Batch account.

Version 3.3.0

• Added new properties CurrentNodeCommunicationMode (read only) and TargetCommunicationMode of type NodeCommunicationMode to PSCloudPool.
  • Valid values for NodeCommunicationMode: Default, Classic, Simplified
  • When the PSCloudPool is updated with a new TargetCommunicationMode value, the Batch service will attempt to update the pool to the new value the next time the pool is resized down to zero compute nodes and back up.
• PSPrivateLinkServiceConnectionState's ActionRequired property required has been renamed to ActionsRequired. The old property has been marked as obsolete, and now just returns the new property. This should not impact existing consumers.

Version 3.2.1

• Fixed a bug wherein creating a new JobSchedule does not properly submit Output Files.

Version 3.2.0

• Updated Az.Batch to use Microsoft.Azure.Batch SDK version 15.3.0
  • Add ability to assign user-assigned managed identities to PSCloudPool. These identities will be made available on each node in the pool, and can be used to access various resources.
  • Added IdentityReference property to the following models to support accessing resources via managed identity:
    • PSAzureBlobFileSystemConfiguration
    • PSOutputFileBlobContainerDestination
    • PSContainerRegistry
    • PSResourceFile
    • PSUploadBatchServiceLogsConfiguration
  • Added new extensions property to PSVirtualMachineConfiguration on PSCloudPool to specify virtual machine extensions for nodes
  • Added the ability to specify availability zones using a new property NodePlacementConfiguration on VirtualMachineConfiguration
  • Added new OSDisk property to VirtualMachineConfiguration, which contains settings for the operating system disk of the Virtual Machine.
    • The Placement property on PSDiffDiskSettings specifies the ephemeral disk placement for operating system disks for all VMs in the pool. Setting it to "CacheDisk" will store the ephemeral OS disk on the VM cache.
  • Added MaxParallelTasks property on PSCloudJob to control the maximum allowed tasks per job (defaults to -1, meaning unlimited).
  • Added VirtualMachineInfo property on PSComputeNode which contains information about the current state of the virtual machine, including the exact version of the marketplace image the VM is using.
  • Added RecurrenceInterval property to PSSchedule to control the interval between the start times of two successive job under a job schedule.
  • Added a new 'Get-AzBatchComputeNodeExtension' command, which gets a specific extension by name, or a list of all extensions, for a given compute node.
• Updated Az.BatchMicrosoft.Azure.Management.Batch SDK version 14.0.0.
  • Added a new Get-AzBatchSupportedVirtualMachineSku command, which gets the list of Batch-supported Virtual Machine VM sizes available at a given location.
  • Added a new Get-AzBatchTaskSlotCount command, which gets the number of task slots required by a given job.
  • 'MaxTasksPerComputeNode' has been renamed to 'TaskSlotsPerNode', to match a change in functionality.
    • 'MaxTasksPerComputeNode' will remain as an alias but will be removed in a coming update.

Version 3.1.1

• Removed assembly System.Text.Encodings.Web.dll [#16062]

Version 3.1.0

• Updated Az.Batch to use Microsoft.Azure.Management.Batch SDK version to 11.0.0
• Added the ability to set the BatchAccount Identity in the New-AzBatchAccount cmdlet

Version 3.0.0

• Updated Az.Batch to use Microsoft.Azure.Batch SDK version 13.0.0 and Microsoft.Azure.Management.Batch SDK version 9.0.0.
• Added the ability to select the kind of certificate being added using the new -CertificateKind parameter to New-AzBatchCertificate.
• Removed ApplicationPackages property from PSApplication which was previously always $null.
  • The specific packages inside of an application now can be retrieved using Get-AzBatchApplicationPackage. For example: Get-AzBatchApplication -AccountName myaccount -ResourceGroupName myresourcegroup -ApplicationId myapplication.
• When creating a pool using New-AzBatchPool, the VirtualMachineImageId property of PSImageReference can now only refer to a Shared Image Gallery image.
• When creating a pool using New-AzBatchPool, the pool can be provisioned without a public IP using the new PublicIPAddressConfiguration property of PSNetworkConfiguration.
  • The PublicIPs property of PSNetworkConfiguration has moved in to PSPublicIPAddressConfiguration as well. This property can only be specified if IPAddressProvisioningType is UserManaged.

Version 2.0.2

• Update references in .psd1 to use relative path
• Fix issue #10602, where New-AzBatchPool did not properly send VirtualMachineConfiguration.ContainerConfiguration or VirtualMachineConfiguration.DataDisks to the server.

Version 2.0.1

• Renamed CoreQuota on BatchAccountContext to DedicatedCoreQuota. There is also a new LowPriorityCoreQuota.
  • This impacts Get-AzBatchAccount.
• New-AzBatchTask -ResourceFile parameter now takes a collection of PSResourceFile objects, which can be constructed using the new New-AzBatchResourceFile cmdlet.
• New New-AzBatchResourceFile cmdlet to help create PSResourceFile objects. These can be supplied to New-AzBatchTask on the -ResourceFile parameter.
  • This supports two new kinds of resource file in addition to the existing HttpUrl way:
    • AutoStorageContainerName based resource files download an entire auto-storage container to the Batch node.
    • StorageContainerUrl based resource files download the container specified in the URL to the Batch node.
• Removed ApplicationPackages property of PSApplication returned by Get-AzBatchApplication.
  • The specific packages inside of an application now can be retrieved using Get-AzBatchApplicationPackage. For example: Get-AzBatchApplication -AccountName myaccount -ResourceGroupName myresourcegroup -ApplicationId myapplication.
• Renamed ApplicationId to ApplicationName on Get-AzBatchApplicationPackage, New-AzBatchApplicationPackage, Remove-AzBatchApplicationPackage, Get-AzBatchApplication, New-AzBatchApplication, Remove-AzBatchApplication, and Set-AzBatchApplication.
  • ApplicationId now is an alias of ApplicationName.
• Added new PSWindowsUserConfiguration property to PSUserAccount.
• Renamed Version to Name on PSApplicationPackage.
• Renamed BlobSource to HttpUrl on PSResourceFile.
• Removed OSDisk property from PSVirtualMachineConfiguration.
• Removed Set-AzBatchPoolOSVersion. This operation is no longer supported.
• Removed TargetOSVersion from PSCloudServiceConfiguration.
• Renamed CurrentOSVersion to OSVersion on PSCloudServiceConfiguration.
• Removed DataEgressGiB and DataIngressGiB from PSPoolUsageMetrics.
• Removed Get-AzBatchNodeAgentSku and replaced it with Get-AzBatchSupportedImage.
  • Get-AzBatchSupportedImage returns the same data as Get-AzBatchNodeAgentSku but in a more friendly format.
  • New non-verified images are also now returned. Additional information about Capabilities and BatchSupportEndOfLife for each image is also included.
• Added ability to mount remote file-systems on each node of a pool via the new MountConfiguration parameter of New-AzBatchPool.
• Now support network security rules blocking network access to a pool based on the source port of the traffic. This is done via the SourcePortRanges property on PSNetworkSecurityGroupRule.
• 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 WorkingDirectory property on PSTaskContainerSettings.
• Added ability to specify a collection of public IPs on PSNetworkConfiguration via the new PublicIPs property. This guarantees nodes in the Pool will have an IP from the list user provided IPs.
• When not specified, the default value of WaitForSuccess on PSSTartTask is now $True (was $False).
• When not specified, the default value of Scope on PSAutoUserSpecification is now Pool (was Task on Windows and Pool on Linux).

Version 1.1.2

• Get-AzBatchNodeAgentSku is deprecated and will be replaced by Get-AzBatchSupportImage in version 2.0.0.

Version 1.1.1

• Fixed typo in help message and documentation to capitalize Windows
• Fixed miscellaneous typos across module

Version 1.1.0

• Updated cmdlets with plural nouns to singular, and deprecated plural names.

Version 1.0.0

• General availability of Az.Batch module
• Added the ability to see what version of the Azure Batch Node Agent is running on each of the VMs in a pool, via the new NodeAgentInformation property on PSComputeNode.
• Removed the ValidationStatus property from PSTaskCounts.
• The Caching default for PSDataDisk is now ReadWrite instead of None.
