Windows Azure SDK for C++

Question

Part of my project is worker application written in C++, running on Linux. I just find out that MS doesn't provide C++ version of Windows Azure SDK. I need to access Windows Azure Storage Queue.

Is there any C++ port of SDK? Is there any chance to use SDK from other language (ie python, node.js)? Or the best option is to use REST API?

Answer 1

Microsoft released a preview of a C++ SDK for Azure; details are available here . Source code is on Github . The currently available preview doesn't compile out-of-the-box for Linux, but the changes required to make it work are pretty minimal.

Answer 2

Casablanca is preparing library for Linux/C++. Check out http://casablanca.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Linux%20Features&referringTitle=FAQ

Answer 3

You can use Windows Azure Storage via many langueage SDK - http://blog.smarx.com/posts/windows-azure-storage-libraries-in-many-languages

I think better way than REST API is to use node.js SDK like below - http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/nodejs/how-to-guides/queue-service/ - http://d.hatena.ne.jp/waritohutsu/20120212/1329021441
