When using Batch accounts with user subscription allocation, is it possible to rename or add a custom prefix/suffix to the scale sets or nodes created by Batch? By default the name of scale sets and nodes has the following structure: "62688a0b-4313-43fa-9e29-32c3e97fa484-AzureBatch-VMSS". Thanks.

    Hello Sergey Skovorodnikov,

    Unfortunately, Azure Batch has a predefined naming convention for the resources it creates, and it does not currently support customizing the names of scale sets or nodes.

    The default naming structure (62688a0b-4313-43fa-9e29-32c3e97fa484-AzureBatch-VMSS) is automatically generated and cannot be changed later manually.

    If you are looking to separate them out with other resources, you can use Resource tagging and with that you can separate them up.
