Azure Event Hubs: Role Based Access Control (RBAC) in action

Azure Event Hubs is a streaming platform and event ingestion service that can receive and process millions of events per second. In this blog, we are going to cover one of the security aspects related to Azure Event Hubs.

Shared Access Signature (SAS) is a commonly used authentication mechanism for Azure Event Hubs which can be used to enforce granular control over the type of access you want to grant - it works by configuring rules on Event Hubs resources (namespace or topic). However, it is recommended that you use Azure AD credentials (over SAS) whenever possible since it provides similar capabilities without the need to manage SAS tokens or worry about revoking a compromised SAS.
