AI-200 Event Driven Integration Practice Question
You are optimizing the cost and performance of an Azure Event Hubs namespace processing millions of financial telemetry records daily. Traffic fluctuates heavily between business hours and night time. You want to ensure the namespace scales automatically without manual intervention while bounding maximum costs. What should you configure?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enable Auto-Inflate and set the maximum Throughput Units limit.
Event Hubs Standard and Premium tiers support Auto-Inflate. You enable Auto-Inflate and specify the maximum number of Throughput Units (TUs) or Processing Units (PUs) to cap expenses.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Set the retention period to 1 hour to reduce storage overhead.
Why it's wrong here
Retention period affects storage cost, but does not solve throughput throttling or dynamic scaling.
- ✓
Enable Auto-Inflate and set the maximum Throughput Units limit.
Why this is correct
Auto-Inflate automatically increases TUs as load increases up to the specified maximum limit, controlling costs.
- ✗
Configure an Azure Autoscale rule on the Event Hubs Resource Group via Azure Monitor.
Why it's wrong here
Event Hubs TUs cannot be scaled via standard Azure Monitor VM-style autoscale rules; Auto-Inflate is the native Event Hubs feature.
- ✗
Upgrade the namespace to Azure Service Bus Premium with partitioned entities.
Why it's wrong here
Service Bus is for messaging queues/topics, not high-throughput big data telemetry streaming.
