Azure Event Hubs Kafka source properties

You can create a Kafka connection with Azure Event Hubs namespace.

When you create a standard or dedicated tier Event Hubs namespace, the Kafka endpoint for the namespace is enabled by default. You can then use the Azure Event Hubs enabled Kafka connection as a source connection while creating a
