Event Hubs (1 / 16): A healthcare organization is developing a real-time patient monitoring system. The system will monitor vital signs from patients in 5 different wards. The data from the sensors in each ward is sent to Azure Event Hubs for real-time analytics. Three different teams within the organization—Emergency Response, Data Analytics, and Hospital Administration—consume this data through Azure Web Apps for various purposes. You are tasked with setting up the Azure Event Hub for this system. Your goal is to optimize for high data throughput and low latency. How many partitions should you configure in the Azure Event Hub?
Answer:
To achieve the highest data throughput, it's advisable to allocate an individual partition for each ward. Given that the partitioning should be aligned with the source of incoming data, alternative approaches would be incorrect.
Bonus answer: Ward. Because we use it for partitioning.
