Queues working with Azure Storage (Classic) but not with modern

Doing some work with Azure and queues, and I can get it to work with a classic storage account, but not the standard (newer) storage account.

"Modern" Azure storage account

enter image description here

Classic Storage Account

enter image description here

If I run this code against each of them...:

CloudQueueClient queueClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudQueueClient();
var documentProcessQueue = queueClient.GetQueueReference("documentprocessrequest");
documentProcessQueue.CreateIfNotExists();

...It works for Classic, but with "modern" I get this error:

An unhandled exception of type 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.StorageException' occurred in Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.dll

Additional information: The remote name could not be resolved: 'xxxxxxdocstest.queue.core.windows.net'

What am I missing? Am I doing something wrong, or does queues simply not work with "moderns" storage accounts (sounds unlikely)?

I am using the latest version of the Azure SDK. I have tested the connectionstrings to the storage accounts with other things, like uploading a blog, and they do work.

EDIT:

I created a "modern" Azure Storage account like the below screenshot (and tested with this one, same error) - and I changed the first image to reflect this account.

Solution

  • Basically you're getting this error is because you created a Blob Storage kind of storage account which only supports blobs. Please see this link to learn more about account kinds: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/storage-create-storage-account/.

    At this moment, it is not possible to convert this account into a regular (standard) storage account. Thus you would need to create a new storage account and transfer any blobs that you may have in this account to a newer account.

    When you create the new storage account, please ensure that the redundancy type of that account is not ZRS or Premium LRS as storage accounts with these redundancy type only support blobs again.
