The Azure Service Bus transport leverages the Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus client library for .NET.
Azure Service Bus is a messaging service hosted on the Azure platform that allows for exchanging messages between various applications in a loosely coupled fashion. The service offers guaranteed message delivery and supports a range of standard protocols (e.g. REST, AMQP, WS*) and APIs such as native pub/sub, delayed delivery, and more.
