Lab19 – Understanding Queue Storage – Azure
Queue storage
Azure Queue storage 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 Queue storage include:
Creating a backlog of work to process asynchronously
Passing messages from an Azure web role to an Azure worker role
Queue Service Concepts
The Queue service contains the following components:

URL format: Queues are addressable using the following URL format:
http://<storage account>.queue.core.windows.net/<queue>
The following URL addresses a queue in the diagram:
http://myaccount.queue.core.windows.net/images-to-download
Storage Account: All access to Azure Storage is done through a
storage account. See Azure Storage Scalability and Performance
Targets for details about storage account capacity.
Queue: A queue contains a set of messages. All messages must be in a
queue. Note that the queue name must be all lowercase. For
information on naming queues, see Naming Queues and Metadata.
Message: A message, in any format, of up to 64 KB. The maximum
time that a message can remain in the queue is 7 days.
