Configure processing units for a premium tier Azure Event Hubs namespace

Azure Event Hubs Premium allocates isolated compute, memory, and storage capacity to your namespace in units called processing units (PUs). This article shows you how to set the number of PUs when you create a premium namespace and how to scale the PUs for an existing namespace.

Prerequisites

You can configure the number of PUs (1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 16) when you create a premium namespace. Set the value on the Basics page of the creation wizard, as shown in the following image:
