Azure batch start task exceeds the autoScaleEvaluationInterval

I am working on Azure batch and facing an issue. I have configured a start task on my pool with wait for success as true as the start task should complete before starting the job task.

I also want to set the autoscale formula on my pool. I want to set the autoScaleEvaluationInterval period to be 10 mins. But every time start task takes more than 10 mins and autoscale formula starts deleting the pool node.

I have tried to set the withAutoScaleEvaluationInterval to be 30 minutes at the time of pool creation and then when the pool is running i have tried to change it back to 10 mins.

But this is not working.

Solution

  • I hope that you are following some tips mentioned in the documentation here :)

    Please take a note of $NodeDeallocationOption out of 4 eligible options you can try using, The value: taskcompletion -- Waits for currently running tasks to finish and then removes the node from the pool.
