Creating an Azure Event Hubs Namespace
This tutorial guides you through the process of creating an Azure Event Hubs namespace using the Azure portal. An Event Hubs namespace is a logical container for your Event Hubs instances.
Prerequisites
- An Azure subscription. If you don't have one, you can create a free account before you begin.
Steps to Create a Namespace
1
Sign in to the Azure portal.
2
In the Azure portal search bar, type Event Hubs and select Event Hubs from the search results.
3
On the Event Hubs page, select Create.
4
On the Create namespace page, configure the following settings:
- Subscription: Select your Azure subscription.
- Resource group: Choose an existing resource group or create a new one. A resource group is a logical container for Azure resources.
- Namespace name: Enter a globally unique name for your Event Hubs namespace. The name must be between 6 and 50 characters long and can contain only letters, numbers, periods (.), and hyphens (-).
- Location: Select the Azure region where you want to deploy your namespace.
- Pricing tier: Choose a pricing tier. For development and testing, the Basic tier is often sufficient. For production workloads, consider Standard or Premium.
5
Select Review + create, and then select Create.
Note: It may take a few minutes for the namespace to be deployed. You will receive a notification when the deployment is complete.
Next Steps
Once your namespace is created, you can proceed to create Event Hubs within the namespace, configure authorization rules, and start sending and receiving events.
