Deploy ServiceBus with multiple Topics and Queues

问题:

I'm fairly new to using the servicebus and other Azure features. After creating a servicebus manually on the Azure portal, I try to figure out how this can be achieved automatically. After a while of reading I thought that using the azure resource manager should be the way to go. Deploying just one topic is no big deal. But I can't find an example, that shows how to deploy multiple topics and queues at once. Or am I on the wrong approach?

Thanks for your answers! Helmut

回答1:

What we do (and I saw other teams doing the same) is simple: when your producer/consumer application starts, it checks if required queues/topics/subscriptions exist, and creates them otherwise.

So we create all Service Bus entities from C# code, which also gives the full flexibility for options.

Code sample:

var namespaceManager = NamespaceManager.CreateFromConnectionString(connectionString);
if (!namespaceManager.TopicExists(topicName))
{
    namespaceManager.CreateTopic(new TopicDescription(topicName));
    namespaceManager.CreateSubscription(
        new SubscriptionDescription(topicName, subscriptionName));
}

That's not to say your ARM approach is wrong or bad, just to give a simple alternative.

Using the new azure portal (here), there is an Automation script feature.

I've created a new resource group with a service bus namespace that contains 2 topics and 1 queue:

You can see on the left panel, there is an Automation script feature.

In this section, you can find a template that represents the resources that you've created manually. you can then use this template to automate your deployment to others environment.
