You are designing a Windows Azure application that will allow for the processing of image files.
Images will be processed in batches by remote applications running on multiple servers.
The application must meet the following requirements:
– Remain operational during batch-processing operations.
– Allow users to roll back each image to previous versions.
Each remote application must have exclusive access to an image while processing it.
You need to recommend an approach for storing the images.
What should you recommend?
A.
Store the images in a Windows Azure Queue.
B.
Store the images in Windows Azure Blob storage.
C.
Store the images in Windows Azure Table storage.
D.
Store images in a single Windows Azure Drive attached to the web role.
Explanation:
The Blob service stores text and binary data. The Blob service offers the following three resources: the storage account, containers, and blobs. Within your storage account, containers provide a way to organize sets of blobs.You can store text and binary data in either of two types of blobs:
Block blobs, which are optimized for streaming.
Page blobs, which are optimized for random read/write operations and which provide the ability to write to a range of bytes in a blob.
