HOTSPOT

You are designing a cost-optimized solution that uses Azure Batch to run two types of jobs on Linux nodes. The first job type will consist of short-running tasks for a development environment. The second jot type will consist of long-running Message Passing Interface (MPI) applications for a production environment that requires timely job completion.

You need to recommend the pool type and node type for each job type. The solution must minimize compute charges and leverage Azure Hybrid Benefit whenever possible.

Explanation:

Box 1: User subscription and low-priority virtual machines

Azure Batch offers low-priority virtual machines (VMs) to reduce the cost of Batch

workloads. Low-priority VMs make new types of Batch workloads possible by enabling a

large amount of compute power to be used for a very low cost.

Some examples of batch processing use cases well suited to use low-priority VMs are:

✑ Development and testing: In particular, if large-scale solutions are being developed, significant savings can be realized. All types of testing can benefit, but large-scale load testing and regression testing are great uses.

✑ Supplementing on-demand capacity.

✑ Flexible job execution time.

Box 2: Batch service and dedicate virtual machines
