+# Quickstart: Create an Azure Batch account using Terraform
+
+Get started with [Azure Batch](/azure/batch/batch-technical-overview) by using Terraform to create a Batch account, including storage. You need a Batch account to create compute resources (pools of compute nodes) and Batch jobs. You can link an Azure Storage account with your Batch account. This pairing is useful to deploy applications and store input and output data for most real-world workloads.
+
+After completing this quickstart, you'll understand the key concepts of the Batch service and be ready to try Batch with more realistic workloads at larger scale.

+> * Create an Azure resource group using [azurerm_resource_group](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs/resources/resource_group)
+> * Create a random value using [random_string](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/random/latest/docs/resources/string)
+> * Create an Azure Storage account using [azurerm_storage_account](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs/resources/storage_account)
+> * Create an Azure Batch account using [azurerm_batch_account](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs/resources/batch_account)

+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [Install and configure Terraform](/azure/developer/terraform/quickstart-configure)
+
+## Implement the Terraform code
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The example code for this article is located in the [Azure Terraform GitHub repo](https://github.com/Azure/terraform/tree/master/quickstart/101-batch_account). See more [articles and sample code showing how to use Terraform to manage Azure resources](/azure/terraform)
+
+1. Create a directory in which to test and run the sample Terraform code and make it the current directory.
+
+1. Create a file named `providers.tf` and insert the following code:
+
+    [!code-terraform[master](~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-batch_account/providers.tf)]
+
+1. Create a file named `main.tf` and insert the following code:
+
+    [!code-terraform[master](~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-batch_account/main.tf)]
+
+1. Create a file named `variables.tf` and insert the following code:
+
+    [!code-terraform[master](~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-batch_account/variables.tf)]
+
+1. Create a file named `outputs.tf` and insert the following code:
+
+    [!code-terraform[master](~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-batch_account/outputs.tf)]
+
+## Initialize Terraform
+
+[!INCLUDE [terraform-init.md](~/azure-dev-docs-pr/articles/terraform/includes/terraform-init.md)]
+
+## Create a Terraform execution plan
+
+[!INCLUDE [terraform-plan.md](~/azure-dev-docs-pr/articles/terraform/includes/terraform-plan.md)]
+
+## Apply a Terraform execution plan
+
+[!INCLUDE [terraform-apply-plan.md](~/azure-dev-docs-pr/articles/terraform/includes/terraform-apply-plan.md)]
+
+## Verify the results
+
+#### [Azure CLI](#tab/azure-cli)
+
+1. Get the Azure resource group name.
+
+    ```console
+    resource_group_name=$(terraform output -raw resource_group_name)
+    ```
+
+1. Get the Batch account name.
+
+    ```console
+    batch_name=$(terraform output -raw batch_name)
+    ```
+
+1. Run [az batch account show](/cli/azure/batch/account#az-batch-account-show) to display information about the new Batch account.
+
+    ```azurecli
+    az batch account show \
+        --resource-group $resource_group_name \
+        --name $batch_name
+    ```
+
+#### [Azure PowerShell](#tab/azure-powershell)
+
+1. Get the Azure resource group name.
+
+    ```console
+    $resource_group_name=$(terraform output -raw resource_group_name)
+    ```
+
+1. Get the Batch account name.
+
+    ```console
+    $batch_name=$(terraform output -raw batch_name)
+    ```
+
+1. Run [Get-AzBatchAccount](/powershell/module/az.batch/get-azbatchaccount) to display information about the new service.
+
+    ```azurepowershell
+    Get-AzBatchAccount -ResourceGroupName $resource_group_name `
+                       -Name $batch_name
+    ```
