In this article, we will explore the usage of the New-AzEventHubThrottlingPolicyConfig cmdlet in PowerShell specifically for the Windows environment. Event Hubs is a data streaming platform and event ingestion service provided by Azure. It allows you to receive and process large amounts of event data in real-time. Throttling policies play a crucial role in managing the flow of events to prevent overload and ensure efficient utilization of resources.

By using the New-AzEventHubThrottlingPolicyConfig cmdlet in PowerShell, you can create and configure throttling policies for your Event Hubs. These policies define the maximum number of events allowed per unit of time, enabling you to control the rate at which events are ingested. This is particularly important in scenarios where you have multiple applications or devices sending events to the Event Hub simultaneously.

Examples:

1. Creating a new throttling policy:

$throttlingPolicy = New-AzEventHubThrottlingPolicyConfig -Name "MyThrottlingPolicy" -Count 1000 -DurationInSeconds 60

This example creates a new throttling policy named "MyThrottlingPolicy" with a maximum event count of 1000 events per 60 seconds.

2. Updating an existing throttling policy:

$throttlingPolicy = Get-AzEventHubThrottlingPolicyConfig -Name "MyThrottlingPolicy"

$throttlingPolicy.Count = 2000

$throttlingPolicy | Set-AzEventHubThrottlingPolicyConfig

This example retrieves an existing throttling policy named "MyThrottlingPolicy" and updates its maximum event count to 2000 events.

3. Removing a throttling policy:

Remove-AzEventHubThrottlingPolicyConfig -Name "MyThrottlingPolicy"

This example removes the throttling policy named "MyThrottlingPolicy" from the Event Hub.
