Azure extensions for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013
Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2013
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online support integration with Microsoft Azure. Developers can register plug-ins with Microsoft Dynamics CRM that can pass run-time message data, known as the execution context, to one or more Microsoft Azure solutions in the cloud. This is especially important for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online because Microsoft Azure is one of two supported solutions for communicating run-time context obtained in a plug-in to external line of business (LOB) applications. The other solution is the external custom endpoint access capability from a plug-in registered in the sandbox.
The Microsoft Azure Service Bus combined with the Microsoft Azure Access Control Service (ACS) provides a secure communication channel for Microsoft Dynamics CRM run-time data to external line of business applications. This capability is especially useful in keeping disparate Microsoft Dynamics CRM systems or other CRM servers synchronized with Microsoft Dynamics CRM business data changes.
