How to create an Azure Batch account

In this how-to video, we will show you how to create an Azure Batch account and then run a batch job with tasks on it. An Azure Batch account has a pool of virtual machines (VMs), or compute nodes. You then create and run batch jobs with tasks, which run on the pool nodes. In real-world scenarios, a linked Azure storage account is also needed to deploy applications and store input and output data. Please note that for some Azure regions and subscription types, quota restrictions might cause Batch account or node creation to fail or not complete. In this situation, you can request a quota increase at no charge.
