Based on our discussion and the documentation and FAQ

Setup Permissions#

Here are the key points with setting up Azure Infrastructure using a Managed Identity and Batch Pool.

On Azure#

  • Create a service principal

  • Create a managed identity

  • Assign roles to the service principal and managed identity

  • Increase quota for the Azure Batch Account

  • Create Azure Batch pools in the Batch account

  • Attach nodes to the virtual network in the right subnet

  • Whitelist internet access on the subnet.

On Seqera Platform within a workspace:#

  • Admin permissions to add credentials, compute environment(s) and pipelines to a workspace

On VMs as nodes in a pool#

Nodes in a pool are described based on the VM naming convention:

Name breakdown VM

See also Azure Batch documentation.

Local storage of a VM is one-to-one in line with the number of CPUs. See the Local Storage tab for a machine in a series to find out more. See for example the Ddsv4 sizes series.
