Allow more than 10 hubs per event hub namespace
Event hub namespaces have a hard limit of 10 hubs. It would be great to be able to raise that limit to 100 or 1000 or whatever via a support request.
We use Azure Event Hubs with Kafka. A namespace for us is a kafka server and a hub is a kafka topic. Now we have to split topics per kafka server based on Azure's 10 hubs hard limit, which is counterintuitive and complicates our setup.

If a public cloud provider is offering a dedicated tier for a PaaS service, it only means they did not do their job properly and are still trying to figure out the architecture about how to build this in a truly PaaS model. They are not asking us to use "dedicated" option for other PaaS services such as Azure SQL Data warehouse, Azure Blob/Data Lake Store etc. In any case, if the goal of giving a Kafka for event hubs is to ask the customers to move the existing kafka based applications to event hubs, that goal will not be achieved with this limitation. A single tenant (dedicated) option is too cost prohibitive.

Event Hubs offers both single tenant and multi-tenant Kafka options. With multi-tenant, we enforce quotas and limits so the shared resources are kept in the boundaries. Single tenant cluster offer you the flexibility and quotas you are looking for - https://aka.ms/eventhubsclusterquickstart

Completely agree. We have exactly the same problem, the 10 topic limit is ridiculously small and artificial, and makes Event Hubs for Kafka pretty cumbersome to use in a real use case, where it is very likely that you have more than 10 topics.
