Polling in the cloud

问题

I am creating an app, which will poll a rabbitmq queue for messages. I have three choices:

1. Console app, which listens for new messages

2. Windows service, which listens for new messages

3. Web API, which listens for new messages

In normal circumstances I would choose a windows service because it is a long running process and a TCP connection is available to the RabbitMQ server. However, how would this work if we decided to move the application to the cloud in future? The way that I understand it is that I can create a web job for a console app, however this is not possible for a windows service.

Q1) As I am thinking about the cloud, then should I be using a web api for this?

Q2) Is a console app more suitable than a windows service in the cloud?

I am specifically asking if the options I have chosen are available in the cloud.
