Enable Managed Identity Authentication for Event Hubs in Event Stream Inputs

Currently, EventStream supports adding Event Hub as an input source using the SAS Key authentication method. Please add support for Managed Identity–based authentication so that EventStream can align with Microsoft’s Safe Secrets and keyless authentication best practices. This would improve security posture, eliminate secret rotation overhead, and enable seamless integration with Azure resources using RBAC.

    I can still see only SAS authentication. Do we have an exact date for when this feature will go live?

    Thanks for checking in! The timeline has shifted slightly, and we’re now targeting rollout starting May 4th, with some regions following over the next few days.

     

    As with any service deployment, timelines can vary a bit by release progress and potential freeze for critical events, but we’ll keep sharing updates as things land. Really appreciate your patience!
