void UploadImage(Stream image, CloudBlob destBlob) { // Add image to list in SQL Azure AddImageToSQLAzure(destBlob.Uri); // Upload image to blob storage UploadImageToBlob(image, destBlob); } async Task UploadImageAsync(Stream image, CloudBlob destBlob) { // Add image to list in SQL Azure var t1 = AddImageToSQLAzureAsync(destBlob.Uri); // Upload image to blob storage var t2 = UploadImageToBlobAsync(image, destBlob); await TaskEx.WhenAll(t1, t2); } But how do we make one of these?

void UploadImageToBlob (Stream image, CloudBlob destBlob) { destBlob.UploadFromStream(image); } async Task UploadImageToBlobAsync (Stream image, CloudBlob destBlob) { // Task.Factory.FromAsync method creates a Task or Task to // represent a Begin/End async invocation await Task.Factory.FromAsync (destBlob.BeginUploadFromStream, destBlob.EndUploadFromStream, image, null); }

X X Non-public blob (e.g. paid or ad- funded content) Non-public blob (e.g. paid or ad- funded content) 1. “I am Bob & I want X” 2. Service prepares a Shared Access Signature (SAS) to X using the securely stored storage account key 3. Service returns SAS (signed HTTPS URL) 4. Bob uses SAS to access X directly from Blob Storage for reduced latency & compute load
