Lasernet 11 Azure Guide

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying, and managing applications and services through a global network of Microsoft-managed data centers.

Lasernet provides access to a limited subset of Azure services, specifically Storage and Service Bus. Storage is only partly supported, as Lasernet interfaces only with Blob and Queue.

Azure Storage Blob

Azure Storage Blob is a service that stores unstructured data in the cloud as blobs. Blob storage can store any type of text or binary data, such as a document, media file, or application installer. Blob storage is also referred to as object storage.

Azure Storage Queue

Azure Storage Queue is a service for storing large numbers of messages that can be accessed from anywhere in the world via authenticated calls using HTTP or HTTPS. A single queue message can be up to 64 KB in size, and a queue can contain millions of messages, up to the total capacity limit of a storage account.

Common uses of Storage Queue include:

• Creating a backlog of work to process asynchronously.

• Passing messages from an Azure web role to an Azure worker role.

The maximum time that a message can remain in the queue is seven days.

Azure Service Bus

Azure Service Bus is a service that provides a multi-tenant service for connecting applications through the cloud. The maximum size for a message depends on your subscription.
