# Build Azure Batch Workflows in Java

Large-scale Java workloads require careful Azure Batch setup and lifecycle management. This skill provides focused SDK examples for clients, pools, jobs, tasks, nodes, schedules, and monitoring.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add sickn33/azure-compute-batch-java
```

## Capabilities

- Configure synchronous and asynchronous Azure Batch clients with Entra ID or shared keys.
- Create, inspect, resize, autoscale, and delete Azure Batch compute pools.
- Create, list, monitor, terminate, and delete jobs and tasks.
- Submit task collections and large task lists with Azure Batch SDK methods.
- Retrieve task output, inspect nodes, reboot nodes, and obtain remote login settings.
- Create recurring job schedules and handle Azure Batch service errors.

## Use Cases

- Integrate Batch Processing: Add Azure Batch client, job, and task operations to a Java service.
- Operate Compute Pools: Create, resize, autoscale, inspect, and remove pools supporting repeatable workloads.
- Run Parallel Workloads: Submit many tasks, monitor progress, retrieve output, and manage scheduled execution.

## Prompt Templates

### Connect a Java Client

```
Show how to create a synchronous Azure Batch Java client using Entra ID and AZURE_BATCH_ENDPOINT.
```

### Submit a Batch Job

```
Design a Java workflow that creates a job on an existing pool and submits fifty independent tasks.
```

### Scale and Monitor a Pool

```
Create a Java approach for autoscaling an Azure Batch pool, monitoring task counts, and handling long-running operations.
```

### Design a Resilient Workflow

```
Plan a production Java Batch workflow with schedules, retries, time limits, task output collection, error handling, and cleanup.
```

## Limitations

- Examples target azure-compute-batch 1.0.0-beta.5 and may require changes for newer versions.
- A configured Azure Batch account, pool, subscription, credentials, and permissions are required.
- The skill does not provision complete Azure infrastructure or validate quotas, permissions, costs, and regional availability.
- Task command strings require operating-system validation and trusted inputs before production use.

## Best Practices

- Prefer Entra ID and managed identities over shared account keys.
- Set wall-clock limits and retry limits for every production workload.
- Monitor long-running operations, task counts, exit codes, and output before cleanup.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not concatenate untrusted input into Batch task command strings.
- Do not embed account keys, endpoints, pool identifiers, or job identifiers in source control.
- Do not delete pools or jobs before collecting required task output and diagnostics.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-23T20:42:59.739\+00:00
- Summary: All 80 static findings are false positives caused by Markdown formatting or legitimate Azure Batch examples. No prompt injection, secret exposure, exfiltration, or malicious behavior appears in SKILL.md.
