Azure Batch Accounts
Azure Batch is used to run large-scale parallel and high-performance computing (HPC) batch jobs efficiently in Azure. An Azure Batch Account is a uniquely identified entity within the Batch service that is used to create compute resources (pools of compute nodes) and Batch jobs.
You must configure cloud connections to monitor this entity. See Configure Azure Cloud Connection.
Cisco Cloud Observability displays Azure entities on the Observe page. Metrics are displayed for specific entity instances in the list and detail views.
