You are building a premium-tier Azure Event Hubs solution to track road toll events. Each road requires its own throttling policy. How should you configure the event hub to allow per-road throttling?

Correct answer: Use a unique application group for each road..
Why this is the answer
Application groups in Azure Event Hubs allow you to define custom throttling policies for specific applications or logical entities, such as individual roads in this scenario. By creating a unique application group for each road, you can apply distinct throttling rules (e.g., maximum ingress/egress bytes per second, maximum messages per second) to prevent one road's high event volume from impacting others. Using a unique consumer group for each road is incorrect because consumer groups are for managing event consumption, not for applying ingress throttling policies. Ensuring each road stores events in a different partition is also incorrect; partitions distribute events for parallel processing and do not directly offer per-entity throttling. Lastly, using a unique connection string for each road is not the mechanism for defining throttling policies; connection strings provide access credentials.
