Adding Tags To Azure Batch Resources

Is it possible to tag the resources used from azure batch? I use the .NET SDK to create a batch pool, job and tasks. I'm wondering if I can tag the pool VM's that get created by the azure batch client. I looked through the properties and documentation and wasn't seeing anything obvious.

Seems there is no way to tag the batch pool from .Net sdk but you can utilize Metadata Property for adding the information in key/value pair of CloudPool which will help you identifying the resources.

Gets or sets a list of name-value pairs associated with the pool as metadata.

 CloudPool.Metadata
    public System.Collections.Generic.IList<Microsoft.Azure.Batch.MetadataItem> Metadata { get; set; }

You can find more details here.

Also i would suggest you to create a resource group with tag and link all the resources in the same resource group.

Hope it helps.

A Pool is an ARM resource (you can only add tags to ARM resources) so you should be able to get and update it with tags using the ARM SDK (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/overview/azure/resource-manager?view=azure-dotnet)
