New pricing tier for Azure Event Hubs Dedicated
Effective November 13, 2017, we will offer a new pricing tier for Azure Event Hubs Dedicated. This tier introduces hourly fixed pricing, and will be available to all customers.
Azure Event Hubs is a data ingestion service that provides a distributed streaming platform with hyper-scale, low latency, publish-subscribe capabilities..
Azure Event Hubs Dedicated is ideal for customers that need a single-tenant deployment to manage the most demanding requirements. Key attributes include:
Message sizes up to 1MB, compared to 256 KB for the Standard and Basic tiers
Repeatable performance
Zero maintenance, because the service manages load balancing, OS updates, security patches and partitioning
Fixed pricing, charged hourly at $6.85 per hour
Includes the
Capture
feature of Azure Event Hubs, to provide integration with micro-batch scenarios
Message retention up to 7 days with no extra charge
This reserved, dedicated environment provides other capabilities unique to this tier, such as:
Control the number of namespaces in your cluster
Specify throughput limitson each of your namespaces
Configure the number of Event Hubs under each namespace
Determine the limit on number of partitions
To get started with Event Hubs Dedicated, contact your sales team or open a support ticket from the portal.
As a product team, we provide complete support while also readily answering any questions you have regarding usage and setup.
We continue to expand the capabilities of the Event Hubs Dedicated tier, including a robust portal experience. Some of the items on our road-map include:
Resource management of clusters
: We will expand the namespace features listed above by allowing customers to control the namespace creation and all the various features/resource under it
Monitoring
: We are working to provide customers with easy access to the various KPI’s and metrics on their clusters to help them scale, and monitor performance
Self-serve onboard
: eEasily select the cluster and deploy through ARM or Azure portal. This will let customers bring up and bring down the cluster as they need it.
Quick Deployments
: We are working hard to enable self-serve quick deployments, so clusters can be set up on the portal by the customer in less than 2 hours
