You are designing a Windows Azure application that will process images.
The maximum size of an image is 10 MB.
The application includes a web role that allows users to upload images and a worker role with multiple instances that processes the images.
The web role communicates with the worker role by using a Windows Azure Queue.
You need to recommend an approach for storing images that minimizes storage transactions.
What should you recommend?
A.
Store images in the queue.
B.
Store images in Windows Azure Blob storage.
Store references to the images in the queue.
C.
Store images in local storage on the web role instance.
Store references to the images in the queue.
D.
Store images in Windows Azure Drives attached to the worker role instances.
Store references to the images in the queue.
Explanation:
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.
