Microsoft Azure Developer Associate AZ-204 Practice Question
A Standard tier Azure Event Hubs namespace contains a single event hub with 4 throughput units. During occasional traffic spikes, producer clients receive ServerBusyException errors caused by throttling. You need a low-effort way to allow Azure to temporarily raise the namespace's ingress limit to as much as 20 MB/s while keeping costs under control. What should you configure?
Create 20 additional consumer groups and assign each client to a different group.
Enable Auto-inflate on the namespace and set the maximum throughput units to 20.
Move the workload to an Event Hubs Dedicated cluster that guarantees higher limits.
Delete and recreate the event hub with 20 partitions to increase overall throughput.
Enabling auto-inflate on the namespace and setting the maximum to 20 throughput units allows Azure Event Hubs to automatically increase the namespace's throughput units during spikes. Each additional throughput unit adds roughly 1 MB/s of ingress capacity, preventing ServerBusyException errors without manual intervention during the spike. Auto-inflate does not automatically scale down; you can manually reduce throughput units afterward to control costs. Creating more consumer groups only affects read concurrency, recreating the hub with additional partitions does not raise the per-namespace ingress quota, and moving to a dedicated cluster is unnecessary for the required 20 MB/s burst capacity.
