Designing Azure Infrastructure Solutions — Question 11

You are developing a sales application that will contain several Azure cloud services and handle different components of a transaction. Different cloud services will process customer orders, billing, payment, inventory, and shipping.
You need to recommend a solution to enable the cloud services to asynchronously communicate transaction information by using XML messages.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

• A. Azure Notification Hubs
• B. Azure Service Fabric
• C. Azure Queue Storage
• D. Azure Application Gateway

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Azure Queue Storage, as it is designed for asynchronous communication and can handle messages in the form of XML. The other options, such as Azure Notification Hubs and Azure Application Gateway, are not suited for this specific use case, while Azure Service Fabric is more focused on microservices and orchestration rather than simple message queuing.
