A sales application consists of multiple Azure services handling orders, billing, payments, inventory, and shipping. You need to enable asynchronous exchange of transaction information in XML format between services. Which Azure service should you recommend?

Azure Service Bus is a messaging service that enables asynchronous communication between decoupled applications and services. It supports various messaging patterns, including queues and topics, which are ideal for exchanging transaction information in XML format between services without requiring them to be simultaneously available. This ensures reliable delivery and processing of messages. Azure Data Lake is a scalable data storage and analytics service, not designed for real-time messaging. Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS-based traffic load balancer, used for routing user traffic to different service endpoints, not for inter-service messaging. Azure Blob Storage is an object storage solution for unstructured data, not a messaging broker.
