Event Hubs is the popular, highly reliable and extremely scalable event streaming engine that backs thousands of applications across every kind of industry in Microsoft Azure. We are now announcing the general availability of Event Hubs on Azure Stack Hub. Event Hubs on Azure Stack Hub will allow you to realize cloud and on-premises scenarios that use streaming architectures. With this GA release, you can use the same features of Event Hubs on Azure, such as Kafka protocol support, a rich set of client SDKs, and the same Azure operational model. Whether you are using Event Hubs on a hybrid (connected) scenario or on a disconnected scenario, you will be able to build solutions that support stream processing at a large scale that is only bound by the Event Hubs cluster size that you provision according to your needs.
With the availability of Event Hubs on your Azure Stack Hub you will be able to implement business scenarios like the following:
Build solutions on Azure that complement or leverage the data processed in your Azure Stack Hub. Send to Azure aggregated data for further processing, visualization, and/or storage. If appropriate, leverage serverless computing on Azure.
Event Hubs offers the same features on Azure and on Azure Stack Hub with very few feature deviations between both platforms. Please consult our documentation on features supported by Event Hubs for more information.
Use Event Hubs on Azure Stack Hub for free through December 31st, 2020. Starting on January 1st, 2021 you will be charged for the Event Hubs clusters you create. For more information on pricing, please consult the Azure Stack Hub Pricing page later in December.
