Queues are the universal solution to the dual challenges of latency and scalability. The use of queues can help to resolve several notable challenges in distributed computing, including load smoothing. In this course, instructor Anton Delsink takes a deep dive into Azure Queue Storage, a queuing service built on Azure Storage that enables you to store a large amount of messages. To kick off the course, Anton steps through how to create and properly secure a storage account. He then details key queue concepts, including how to manage the lifecycle of a message by managing the visible time property, how to use a shared access signature to provide privileges to queue clients, and more.
