Hi David,

Really nice article.

I am trying to figure out a way to use MassTransit v3 with Azure service bus and just could not find a way to get it to work.
I read online in several articles that it is possible.
I saw you have an article on using RabbitMQ with Masstransit v3.
If you have code sample for Masstransitv3 with Azure, can you please share a link to it. It will be of great help.

I was able to use SB4WS using the SAS tokenprovider: https://github.com/MassTransit/MassTransit/issues/342#issuecomment-147706883

Great questions… The MT transport for Azure may not support it. I suggest raising the question in the MT Google Group for the authors to comment on: http://groups.google.com/group/masstransit-discuss/

Great post, really helped me out in setting up my own MT/w Azure SB application. One thought though – I tried to lock things down a little – it feels wrong to be using such a root level SAS key, but things wouldn’t work at this point. Any suggestions/best practices for when running in production? Presumably “Manage” permissions are mandatory the first time this is run, in order for the topic, subscription and new queue to be created? Can permissions be changed to using Listen and Send afterward? I tried but had no success.

Thanks!

In reply to David McClelland. To the best of my knowledge, the Azure Service Bus transport for MassTransit does has not been successfully tested to work with Service Bus for Windows Server. I believe it would be a simple matter for a developer to modify the transport code to make it work, but to date, this work has not yet been done.

I’m glad you built this example – have you tried with the local version of Microsoft’s Service Bus (the extraordinarily-named Windows Server Service Bus!) to see if this works the same?

In reply to dprothero. Brilliant, that explains my confusion! Thanks for the lightning fast reply.

Good catch! It’s actually completely unnecessary (which is why it still works for you). It was leftover from my experimenting. I’ve pulled it out and everything still works.

var queueUri = “azure-sb://” + azureNameSpace + “/MtPubSubAzureExample_” + queueName;

Hey, Just running your sample code. This bit:

var queueUri = “azure-sb://owner:bjOAWQJalkmd9LKas0lsdklkdw4mAHwKZUJ1jKwTLdc=@” + azureNameSpace + “/MtPubSubAzureExample_” + queueName;

I’ve left unchanged and it works. What is the owner and what looks like a shared key? Is that yours, what do I set that too?

Awesome post David. Thanks for showing us the “cloudy” way!
