Azure worke role, working with sensitive data, but performance is important. Same geo-location and affinity group.
When connecting to Azure storage, should I use HTTPS? Or is HTTP secure enough since, since it’s all inside Azure?
In other words, is communication between Worker role and storage server happening on internal network? Or is it going through Internet, can be intercepted and I need to use HTTPS to secure data transmitted?
If the storage account is in the same data center as the worker role, the traffic goes over a local network, and it should be safe from eavesdropping.
