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

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.
