Create an Event Hubs namespace

An Event Hubs namespace provides a unique scoping container in which you create event hubs. To create a namespace in your resource group using the portal:

  1. In the Azure portal, from the flyout menu, select All services. In the All services page, search for and select Event Hubs.

  2. In the Event Hubs page, select Create.

  3. On the Create namespace page, take the following steps:

    1. Select the Subscription in which you want to create the namespace.

    2. Select the Resource group you created in the previous step.

    3. Enter a name for the namespace. The system immediately checks to see if the name is available.

    4. Select a Region for the namespace.

    5. For the pricing tier, choose Basic.

      [!NOTE] If you plan to use the namespace from Apache Kafka apps, use the Standard tier. The basic tier doesn't support Apache Kafka workloads. To learn about differences between tiers, see Quotas and limits, Event Hubs Premium, and Event Hubs Dedicated articles.

    6. Leave the throughput units (for standard tier) or processing units (for premium tier) setting as it is. To learn about throughput units or processing units, see Event Hubs scalability.

    7. Select Review + Create.

    8. On the Review + Create page, review the settings, and select Create. Wait for the deployment to complete.

  4. On the Deployment page, select Go to resource to navigate to the page for your namespace.

  5. Confirm that you see the Event Hubs Namespace page similar to the following example:
