Azure Service Bus is a messaging service from Microsoft. Service Bus is based upon the Publish/Subscribe messaging model, which is often referred to simply as Pub/Sub. Azure Service Bus supports Queues and Topics. 

Queues are used for pushing messages to a single consumer. Topics are used to distribute messages to multiple consumers in one-to-many message publishing scenarios. The benefits of using Pub/Sub messaging include:

• No need for expensive polling operations
• Applications and services can be decoupled
• Fault tolerance
• Scalability

In this Hands-On lab, you will use the Azure Portal to create a namespace in Azure Service Bus, and you will use the Azure command-line interface to create a Topic and a Subscription to your Topic.
