下面的示例假设您已经创建了一个新的包含一个空Worker Role 的Azure PaaS云服务。通过安装Azure .Net SDK将云服务模版添加到Visual Studio。

在部署到云之前,可以在本地使用“Azure服务模拟器”对Worker Role的实现进行测试。 参考MSDN Azure 的文章 “使用模拟器在本地调试和运行一个云服务” 了解更多细节。

Azure PaaS Worker Role的实现和Windows Service 部署场景的例子很相似。
开始使用 Akka.Net 的最快方式是创建一个简单的Worker Role,在它的 RunAsync() 方法里调用 top-level
user-actor,如下所示:

WorkerRole.cs
