Question

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?

Options

  • AStore images in the queue.
  • BStore images in Windows Azure Blob storage.
  • CStore images in local storage on the web role instance.
  • DStore images in Windows Azure Drives attached to the worker role instances.
