Use cases for event hubs

Happy Friday everyone,

Just curious what the use cases for Event hubs are for? Does anyone have any examples?

LOL after I posted this I started scrolling through posts and found this

Server v/s Agent

An example of how we’re using Event Hubs and agents is that with some of our clients we don’t have direct access to some of their network infrastructure (such as to manage their firewall and collect configuration backups) so, rather than poking holes to give us access publicly or build a site-to-site tunnel between our edge and their edge, we have an Event Hub agent installed on their management server, and we can then send commands to it through the PSU server to have it make some calls to the …

No problem. Another example of how we’re GOING TO BE using them is that there’s a script that we run for one of our clients, that takes around 3 days to complete, and because of how hard hitting some of our other scripts are that run every day, we can’t add this 3-day-long script to the mix and overload the PSU server… so we’re going to keep the script on the PSU server but dump it into a variable that gets pushed to the Event Hub Agent for that to process on their servers, and it can take however long it needs to take without impacting the PSU server’s resources.

Now this is an interesting use case.

Could you implement event hubs for a pub/sub model? @adam
