In this quickstart, you use the Azure portal to create a Service Bus topic and then create subscriptions to that topic.
Service Bus topics and subscriptions support a publish/subscribe messaging communication model. When using topics and subscriptions, components of a distributed application do not communicate directly with each other; instead they exchange messages via a topic, which acts as an intermediary.
In contrast with Service Bus queues, in which each message is processed by a single consumer, topics and subscriptions provide a one-to-many form of communication, using a publish/subscribe pattern. It is possible to register multiple subscriptions to a topic. When a message is sent to a topic, it is then made available to each subscription to handle/process independently. A subscription to a topic resembles a virtual queue that receives copies of the messages that were sent to the topic. You can optionally register filter rules for a topic on a per-subscription basis, which allows you to filter or restrict which messages to a topic are received by which topic subscriptions.
Service Bus topics and subscriptions enable you to scale to process a large number of messages across a large number of users and applications.

Note
You can manage Service Bus resources with Service Bus Explorer. The Service Bus Explorer allows users to connect to a Service Bus namespace and administer messaging entities in an easy manner. The tool provides advanced features like import/export functionality or the ability to test topic, queues, subscriptions, relay services, notification hubs and events hubs.
In this article, you created a Service Bus namespace, a topic in the namespace, and three subscriptions to the topic. To learn how to publish messages to the topic and subscribe for messages from a subscription, see one of the following quickstarts in the Publish and subscribe for messages section.
