A Developer's Guide to Building Resilient Cloud Applications with Azure

By: Hamida Rebai Trabelsi

Overview of this book

To deliver software at a faster rate and reduced costs, companies with stable legacy systems and growing data volumes are trying to modernize their applications and accelerate innovation, but this is no easy matter. A Developer’s Guide to Building Resilient Cloud Applications with Azure helps you overcome these application modernization challenges to build secure and reliable cloud-based applications on Azure and connect them to databases with the help of easy-to-follow examples. The book begins with a basic definition of serverless and event-driven architecture and Database-as-a-Service, before moving on to an exploration of the different services in Azure, namely Azure API Management using the gateway pattern, event-driven architecture, Event Grid, Azure Event Hubs, Azure message queues, FaaS using Azure Functions, and the database-oriented cloud. Throughout the chapters, you’ll learn about creating, importing, and managing APIs and Service Fabric in Azure, and discover how to ensure continuous integration and deployment in Azure to fully automate the software delivery process, that is, the build and release process. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and deploy cloud-oriented applications using APIs, serverless, Service Fabric, Azure Functions, and Event Grid technologies.

Exercise 2 – creating an Azure Service Bus namespace and a queue

In this exercise, we will perform the following actions:

  • Create an Azure Service Bus namespace
  • Create an Azure Service Bus queue

The queues can be created using the interactive interface of the Azure portal, using the command line via PowerShell or Azure CLI, or using Resource Manager templates. We will look at only the first two methods here: Azure Portal and Azure CLI.

Using the Azure portal

Let’s open the Azure portal and select All services. In the Integration category, we can find the Service Bus resource:

After filling in the configuration required to create a namespace that will include after the queue, we click on + Create or select Create service bus namespace:
