FAQ
-
A standard streaming unit is a blend of compute, memory and throughput.
-
Streaming units can be selected through the Azure portal or Stream Analytics management APIs.
-
The primary factors that impact streaming units needed are query complexity, query latency and the volume of data processed. Streaming units can be used to scale out a job in order to achieve higher throughput. Depending on the complexity of the query and the throughput required, more streaming units may be necessary to achieve your application's performance requirements.
-
Streaming units are billed hourly, based on the maximum number of units selected during this hour.
-
There's no limit on the number of stream units. While the default quota for streaming units per region for a single subscription is 48, you can request a larger number of streaming units by filing a support ticket.
-
Azure Event Hubs or Azure IoT Hub are recommended as scalable event brokers for your stream analytics solution. However, Stream Analytics also supports getting data from Azure Blobs.
-
Azure Stream Analytics’ standard streaming units offer richer capabilities like running custom code (written in JavaScript) and Geospatial functions, Visual Studio integration and removed ingress throttling limits. The older model is no longer available.
-
On 1st February 2017, existing streaming jobs were migrated without any interruption to the standard streaming model. Contact us, if you have any questions.
-
Azure Stream Analytics on IoT Edge is charged based on the number of devices the engine is running on and not on the number of sensors or total devices in your architecture. For example, if you have 100 sensors and use a single gateway to run Stream Analytics on IoT Edge, only a single device is counted for billing purposes.
-
Azure Stream Analytics on IoT Edge Preview is priced by the number of jobs that have been deployed on a device. For instance, if you have two devices and the first device has one job whereas the second device has two jobs your monthly charge will be (1 job)*(1 device)*($-/job/device)+(2 jobs)*(1 device)*($-/job/device) = $-+$- = $- per month.
All billing is prorated. For instance, if a job is deployed only for a partial month, the billing for that job is prorated.
A job on Azure Stream Analytics on an IoT Edge device can use one CPU core. We do not limit the volume of data which can be processed by this job.
If you want to run Azure Stream Analytics on IoT Edge on more than 50 devices please contact Microsoft.
-
Creation, test and preparation of the job in Azure Stream Analytics portal is free. Deployment of the job and monitoring of your job will require the use of messages which will count towards your IoT Hub allowance. Deployment of a job with also requires the use of Azure blob storage.
You can choose to update a job multiple times a month without incurring extra charges from the Stream Analytics service. Updates and deployment are provided using standard messaging capability via IoT Hub.
