Services
Use [Azure Batch](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/batch/batch-technical-overview) to run large-scale parallel and high-performance computing (HPC) batch jobs in Azure.
The following new Batch features are now available in preview and are ready to try out ahead of general availability.
**Pool node disks can be encrypted**
Pool node OS and temporary disks can be encrypted. [Disk encryption configuration](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/batch/disk-encryption) can be specified when creating a pool and uses a platform-managed key.
**Pool support for private IP addresses**
Pools no longer must have public IP addresses associated with them. A pool that is associated with a VNET can be [configured to have private IP addresses](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/batch/batch-pool-no-public-ip-address) so that it can only be accessed by clients within that VNET.
**Use customer-managed keys to encrypt your Batch data**
To date, Batch account data such as certificates, task command lines, and task environment variables have been encrpyted with a platform-managed encryption key when stored. It is now possible to [use a customer-managed key](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/batch/batch-customer-managed-key) to encrypt this data.
For information about all Batch service updates see [REST API versioning documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/batchservice/batch-service-rest-api-versioning).
