## 1 Objective <a id="objective "></a>

Messages have to be distributed to different receivers asynchronously.

[Azure Event Grid Topic](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-grid/overview "What is Azure Event Grid?") receives the message and the Azure Event Grid Subscription forwards it to [Azure Service Bus Queue](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-bus-messaging/service-bus-messaging-overview "What is Azure Service Bus?").

## 2 ARM Template <a id="armtemplate"></a>

The [Azure ARM Template](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/ "ARM template documentation") creates an Event Grid Topic with a dependency to the Service Bus.
Please find a detailed description at [Microsoft.EventGrid topics template reference](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.eventgrid/topics "Microsoft.EventGrid topics template reference").

```json
{
  "name": "[parameters('eventGridTopicName')]",
  "type": "Microsoft.EventGrid/topics",
  "location": "[parameters('location')]",
  "apiVersion": "2020-06-01",
  "dependsOn": [
    "[resourceId('Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/', parameters('serviceBusNamespaceName'))]"
  ]
}
```

The following extract creates the Event Grid Subscription with the _ServiceBusQueue_
endpoint. Please find a detailed description at [Microsoft.EventGrid eventSubscriptions template reference](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.eventgrid/eventsubscriptions "Microsoft.EventGrid eventSubscriptions template reference").

```json
{
  "type": "Microsoft.EventGrid/topics/providers/eventSubscriptions",
  "name": "[concat(parameters('eventGridTopicName'), '/Microsoft.EventGrid/', parameters('eventGridSubscriptionName'))]",
  "apiVersion": "2020-01-01-preview",
  "location": "[parameters('location')]",
  "dependsOn": [
    "[resourceId('Microsoft.EventGrid/topics/', parameters('eventGridTopicName'))]"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "destination": {
      "endpointType": "ServiceBusQueue",
      "properties": {
        "resourceId": "[resourceId('Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/queues/', parameters('serviceBusNamespaceName'),  parameters('serviceBusQueueName'))]"
      }
    },
    "eventDeliverySchema": "EventGridSchema",
    "filter": {
      "isSubjectCaseSensitive": false
    }
  }
}
```
The complete ARM Template can be found in the [GitHub Azure
/
azure-quickstart-templates](https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/101-event-grid-servicebus-queue "azure-quickstart-templates/101-event-grid-servicebus-queue/").

## 3 Deployment <a id="deployment"></a>
