Developers can set up an Access Control for an Azure service and define the users that can access the service and what authorizations those users have.Users hitting the service will then seemlessly be channeled through the Access Control which will generate a token to be taken to the Azure service, this token will contain the authentication and authorization details for the user.

Several application design patterns are possible using the Service Bus:

    Eventing – Notifying applications or devices of events and  passing instructions. At PDC an Azure ticketing application was demonstrated which allowed for physical tickets to be printed in several locations by notifying the devices through the Service Bus.

    Service Remoting – Allow on-premise services and data to be put on the cloud.

    Tunneling – Straightforward application to application communication.
