Is there a way to play with and discover Azure Service Bus on the local emulator without registering to the real Azure Services?
I was following a tutorial on the use of the Azure Service Bus but at a certain point a Namespace and an Issuer Name and Key is required. I don't have that data since I'm not registered to Azure Services and I don't want to do it now (I will get my trial when I will feel ready to develop/test something real).
If you want to use the Brokered Messaging capabilities (Queues, Topics and Subscriptions) then you can install Service Bus for Windows Server, which will allow you to test locally.

For relayed messaging you will have to use an Azure account. The costs of using the relay service for development and testing are minimal, so it may be worth creating a pay-as-you-go subscription for this.
Unfortunately there is not an emulated Azure Service Bus you can run locally. The Azure Service Bus requires an active Azure Subscription. You will need a trial, MSDN subscription, or pay for a pay-as-you go subscription. The relay itself is extremely cheap - $0.01 per 10,000 messages. Dive in and start experimenting with your Azure 90 day trial. If you run out of trial, I'm sure MS would work with you if you could justify the extension.
One of the reasons I expect that it doesn't work without a subscription is that the service bus requires Azure ACS for authentication (this is the source of the Issuer Name and Key you are looking for) which also lacks emulation to my knowledge.

we are working on an integration with service bus. We don't have an account with azure, so we can't run our own server, but our client does.
For testing purposes, are there any openly available service bus topics I can subscribe to and test our code? the content actually does not matter, we just want to make sure our code can connect and read messages.
If this is not possible, how is the approach for testing our subscription code for azure service bus? Do we need to open a azure account?
thanks!
You do need your own subscription to create and test Service Bus Topics.

We are building multi-tenant microservices based platform on Azure and we are using service bus for integration between micro-services.
We are receiving input pipeline message from batch and real-time and I want to ensure all tenant message process with equal priority.
pipeline looks like
Note: we are using Azure function to process service-bus messages
below line I got from Microsoft documentation
This fully managed service is available in multi or single tenant
configurations with no servers to manage or licenses to buy.
Can anyone suggest, How to use service bus in multi-tenant scenario? do you think I really need to care if I'm using azure function (azure function will auto scale)?
I want to give equal priority to all tenant.
Thanks #Mikhail, I confused by below statement
This fully managed service is available in multi or single tenant
configurations with no servers to manage or licenses to buy.
Azure ServiceBus Standard run under shared resources while premium runs a dedicated instance of Service Bus.

I am developing some Provider Hosted add-ins for my SharePoint online tenant, and the Provider Hosted add-ins contain WCFs to implement Remote Event Receivers. Now I know that inside Azure subscription account, i can create a new Service Bus, to use it inside my visual studio projects, for debugging and testing my remote event receivers and workflows. For example inside my Azure web portal i have created this service bus:-
then inside the visual studio's Provider Hosted add-ins Project i entered the service bus information, as follow:-
This allowed me to debug and test my Remote Event Receivers code (actually i did not find any other way to debug my Remote Event Receivers, rather than specifying an Azure Service Bus). now my question is, if we chose to have an Azure Virtual Machine, instated of Azure subscription. will we still be able to create an Azure service bus or similar functionality inside IIS? or this option is only provided as part of Azure subscription account?
If the answer, is No (i can not create a service bus inside Azure VM), then is there a way i can debug and test my Remote Event Receivers code, without using Azure service BUS?
Thanks
Azure Service Bus is a hostess on azure service. You can't "create" or "emulate" it on premises or VM.
if we chose to have an Azure Virtual Machine, instated of Azure subscription. will we still be able to create an Azure service bus inside IIS? or this option is only provided as part of Azure subscription?
Through Azure subscription you get access to services and they're resources. Such as VMs and Azure Service Bus. To use a VM you don't have to use Azure subscription as you could soon one on your machine if you'd like. But you can't run your own Service Bus. IIS or not. For that you'll need to have an acute subscription and create a namespace under Service Bus.
If the answer, is No (i can not create a service bus inside Azure VM), then is there a way i can debug and test my Remote Event Receiver, without using Azure service BUS??
As mentioned above, you could use a namespace for testing purposes from a VM as long as that VM has access to the internet.
I am trying to write simple console application which can automatically Add or Delete any Azure Service Bus Topics and subscription from
Service Bus explorer 3.0.4 but no luck so far.
Code is in C# / Visual Studio 2015 about service and messaging and pubsub is creating Azure token Key automatically.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Add or Delete any Azure Service Bus Topics and subscription from Service Bus explorer 3.0.4
If understood correctly, you mean delete from Azure Service Bus. SB Explorer is just a tool to manage ASB entities.
You can use the current client WindowsAzure.ServiceBus or Service Bus management libraries that is still in preview. The latter will require AAD and is documented here. The client would require a token.
I am trying to make a hybrid application on Azure which uses both mobile services and a worker role. In a script (Node.js) which runs on mobile services DB, I want to send a message through service bus queue. Then my worker role will receive that message and perform some actions. But I can't find how I should sent the message to service bus queue.
BTW, this is not mentioned in "Mobile Services server script reference". Is it possible at all or not?
Thanks.
This is possible. From your Mobile Services scripts, you can use the Azure module to talk to Service Bus. You can find the reference and source code for the Azure module here: https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-node. For an example of using the Azure module (in this case to talk to Blob Storage, but it's useful code to go off of) take a look at this walkthrough: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/mobile/tutorials/upload-images-to-storage-dotnet/.
