1. Challenge

   Deploy and Work with Messages in Azure Service Bus Queue

   At the beginning of this objective, you should be logged in to the Azure portal, using the credentials provided with the lab. If you have trouble logging in, see the Housekeeping video for a walkthrough.

   In the portal, use the Deploy a custom template feature to create a Service Bus namespace with a queue, using a Quickstart template. When prompted to select a template, use this string to filter and pare down the list: servicebus-create-queue. Select the template that will create both a Service Bus namespace and a queue, with no other resources.

   Once the Service Bus namespace and queue are deployed, navigate to the queue, and use Service Bus Explorer to:

   1. Act as the message source to send 10 copies of the same message, at 5-millisecond intervals.
   2. Act as a message consumer to look at a few of the messages, without removing them from the queue or changing their position in the queue.
   3. Receive and dequeue the first two (oldest) messages in the queue.
   4. Confirm that there are only 8 messages remaining in the queue.

   Hint: Viewing a message, without removing it from the queue, is called a peek.

2. Challenge

   Deploy and Work with Messages in Azure Storage Queue

   At the beginning of this objective, you should be logged in to the Azure portal, using the credentials provided with the lab. If you have trouble logging in, see the Housekeeping video for a walkthrough.

   In the portal, use the Deploy a custom template feature to create an Azure Storage account using a Quickstart template. When prompted to select a template, use this string to filter and pare down the list: Storage-account-create. Select the template that creates a storage account, with no other resources. Note that, unlike the first objective, where the template also created a queue, this one will create only the storage account.

   Once the storage account is deployed, navigate to it in the portal and create a new queue on the account. Then, use Storage Browser in the portal to:

   1. Act as the message source to send 2 or more messages.
   2. Act as a message consumer to look at one of the messages, without removing it from the queue or changing its position in the queue.
   3. Receive and dequeue the first (oldest) message in the queue.
   4. Confirm that the message has been de-queued.

   Hint: Viewing a message, without removing it from the queue, is called a peek. Simply select the message in the Storage browser to peek.
