Overview of this book

Microsoft Azure is currently one of the fastest growing public cloud service providers thanks to its sophisticated set of services for building fault-tolerant and scalable cloud-based applications. This second edition of Azure for Developers will take you on a journey through the various PaaS services available in Azure, including Azure App Service, Azure Functions, and Azure SQL Databases, showing you how to build a complete and reliable system with ease. Throughout the book, you’ll discover ways to enhance your skills when building cloud-based solutions leveraging different SQL/NoSQL databases, serverless and messaging components, containerized solutions, and even search engines such as Azure Cognitive Search. That’s not all!! The book also covers more advanced scenarios such as scalability best practices, serving static content with Azure CDN, and distributing loads with Azure Traffic Manager, Azure Application Gateway, and Azure Front Door. By the end of this Azure book, you’ll be able to build modern applications on the Azure cloud using the most popular and promising technologies to make your solutions reliable, stable, and efficient.

Working with Azure Event Hubss

Now that you are familiar with some basic concepts, we can proceed and start working with a real instance of Azure Event Hubss. In this section, you will learn how to both create and access Event Hubs in the Azure portal and work with it using its SDK. In fact, using this service is possible both from the portal (as many Azure components seamlessly integrate with it and no additional configuration is required) and by providing custom implementations for consumers that read and process data further.

Creating an Azure Event Hubss instance in the Azure portal

To create an Azure Event Hubss instance, we will start, as in most cases, by clicking on the + Create a resource button. Enter Event Hub and select the service from the search results. Here, you can see an example of the configuration of my Event Hub instance:
