Azure Queue Storage is a service for storing large numbers of messages. You access messages from anywhere in the world via authenticated calls using HTTP or HTTPS. A queue message can be up to 64 KB in size. A queue may contain millions of messages, up to the total capacity limit of a storage account. Queues are commonly used to create a backlog of work to process asynchronously.
- Storage Account: All access to Azure Storage is done through a storage account. For more information about storage accounts, see Storage account overview.
- 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. For version 2017-07-29 or later, the maximum time-to-live can be any positive number, or -1 indicating that the message doesn’t expire. If this parameter is omitted, the default time-to-live is seven days.
- URL format: Queues are addressable using the following URL format: http://
<storage account>.queue.core.windows.net/<queue>
