 In this module, we'll examine how to use Azure Stream Analytics to process a stream of real-time data, and send the results to a Power BI dataset for visualization.

 All Azure Stream Analytics jobs include at least one input and output. In most cases, inputs reference sources of streaming data (though you can also define inputs for static reference data to augment the streamed event data). Outputs determine where the results of the stream processing query will be sent. To support real-time data visualization, you can use a **Power BI** output.

 ## Streaming data inputs
 
 Inputs for streaming data consumed by Azure Stream Analytics can include:
 
 - Azure Event Hubs
-- Azure IoT Hubs
-- Azure Blob or Data Lake Gen 2 Storage
+- Azure IoT Hub
+- Azure Blob storage
+- Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
+- Apache Kafka
 
 Depending on the specific input type, the data for each streamed event includes the event's data fields and input-specific metadata fields. For example, data consumed from an Azure Event Hubs input includes an **EventEnqueuedUtcTime** field indicating the time when the event was received in the event hub.

 - **Group workspace**: The Power BI workspace in which you want to create the resulting dataset.
 - **Dataset name**: The name of the dataset to be generated by the output. You shouldn't pre-create this dataset as it will be created automatically (replacing any existing dataset with the same name).
 - **Table name**: The name of the table to be created in the dataset.
-- **Authorize connection**: You must authenticate the connection to your Power BI tenant so that the Stream Analytics job can write data to the workspace.
+- **Authorize connection**: Two modes are supported. **User token** requires interactive sign-in and must be renewed periodically (every two weeks when Microsoft Entra multifactor authentication is enabled). **Managed Identity** (system-assigned) is the recommended approach for production jobs—it eliminates the manual renewal requirement and enables fully automated deployments without interactive sign-in. Managed Identity requires an upgraded Power BI workspace and a Power BI Pro license.
