Azure Batch

In this episode Marco Mansi introduces Azure Batch, one of the "OG" services that has been around for a while on Microsoft Azure. This services is great for off-loading large workloads to the cloud and distribute them over many machines. With the power of containers, Azure Batch has become even more powerful. 

Marco will introduce the Azure Batch service and describe how he has used it in a real-world scenario to improve the performance of a batch process. After that he demonstrate how to use the service by converting a collection of text-files to audio. And he does it all from the Azure Cloud Shell.

How to distribute large workloads using Azure Batch

Azure Batch with Docker demo

Introduction to Azure Batch

In recent years, R users have been increasingly exploring the use of deep learning methods to solve difficult problems from computer vision to natural language processing. However, developing deep learning models is a time-consuming and compute-intensive task. To obtain good performance on many datasets, it is necessary to test many combinations of network structures and hyperparameters. In this talk, we will discuss how Microsoft Azure Batch AI can be used to perform this tuning task at scale on clusters of GPU-enabled virtual machines in the cloud. Developers create a single R script to define tests of multiple different network configurations, using the popular deep learning frameworks mxnet or Keras. We explain how to build a simple Docker image that can be deployed across multiple machines and defines the necessary installation dependencies. Batch AI will scale VM clusters as necessary to parallelize the tasks and obtain the optimal network configuration efficiently, saving hours or even days of the developer’s time. We will demonstrate the value of Batch AI with a live demo of training a deep learning model, implemented in R, on the classic MNIST computer vision dataset.

Instances for our clients are hosted on Azure. For our engineers that require access to Azure, I provide the necessary IT assistance. I am in charge of the configuration, access controls, and account locking. The infrastructure and instances under Azure are managed by our engineering staff. If your clientele does business with Microsoft or Azure, this is an indispensable tool.

Possessing a number of different settings.
Making multiple teams.
Reduced difficulty in writing programs.

The user interface, in my opinion, might need further clarification.
Any situation where a user's password has to be reset would benefit from this feature.
Any accounts that were accidentally established more than once may be transferred over quickly and easily.

After initial setup, we now have significantly less time spent processing data.
The automation of data formatting and display after processing is exciting because it frees us to focus on the data itself.
Since using Batch, we have significantly decreased the number of items we previously utilized.

We use Azure to run instances for our customers. I'm the IT support side of Azure for our engineers who need access. I deal with the setup, permissions, and account lockouts. Our Engineering team handles the environment setup and instances within the Azure access area. It's definitely an essential tool if you have customers that deal with MS and Azure.

Managing the users
Having multiple environments
Creating multiple groups

The UI could be a little more clearer in my opinion.
Password resets would be nice to have in any instance (not just the default area).
Easier to migrate repeated account that may have been created.

I can only assume there is a return as the company has been using it for a number of years.
Like anything else, there has been a cost inflation to the tool.
If you have no use for the tool then it is a waste of money.
