Before you can install Event Hubs on Azure Stack Hub, complete the following prerequisites. You might need several days or weeks of lead time to complete all steps.
Important
These prerequisites assume that you already deployed at least a 4-node Azure Stack Hub integrated system. The Event Hubs resource provider isn't supported on the Azure Stack Development Kit (ASDK).
Important
Event Hubs requires Azure Stack Hub 2005 build version or higher. Azure Stack Hub builds are incremental. For example, if you have version 1910 installed, you must first upgrade to 2002, then to 2005. You can't skip builds in-between.
Common prerequisites
If you already installed a resource provider, you likely completed the following prerequisites and can skip this section. Otherwise, complete these steps before continuing.
Register your Azure Stack Hub instance with Azure, if you haven't done so. You need to register your Azure Stack Hub instance with Azure because you'll connect to Azure and download items from the marketplace.
If you're not familiar with the Marketplace Management feature of the Azure Stack Hub administrator portal, review Download marketplace items from Azure and publish to Azure Stack Hub. The article walks you through the process of downloading items from Azure to the Azure Stack Hub marketplace. It covers both connected and disconnected scenarios. If your Azure Stack Hub instance is disconnected or partially connected, you need to complete additional prerequisites in preparation for installation.
Update your Microsoft Entra home directory. Starting with build 1910, you must register a new application in your home directory tenant. This app enables Azure Stack Hub to successfully create and register newer resource providers (like Azure Event Hubs and others) with your Microsoft Entra tenant.
This action is required after you upgrade to build 1910 or later. If you don't complete this step, installations of resource providers from the marketplace fail.
After you successfully update your Azure Stack Hub instance to 1910 or later, follow the instructions for cloning/downloading the Azure Stack Hub Tools repository.
Event Hubs prerequisites
Get public key infrastructure (PKI) SSL certificates for Event Hubs. The Subject Alternative Name (SAN) must follow the naming pattern:
CN=*.eventhub.<region>.<fqdn>. You can specify the Subject Name, but Event Hubs doesn't use it when handling certificates. Only the Subject Alternative Name is used. For the full list of detailed requirements, see PKI certificate requirements.
Note
PFX files must be password protected. The installation process later requests the password.
Review Validate your certificate. The article shows you how to prepare and validate the certificates you use for the Event Hubs resource provider.
