Keda: Provide scaler for Azure IoT Hubs

[tomkerkhove]

Proposal - Azure IoT Hubs would be a great scaler for IoT scenarios

[thdotnet]

Agreed

[jeffhollan]

IoT Hub and Event Hubs "consume" the same way today. For example, with Azure Functions the IoT Hub trigger and Event Hub trigger are both really just 'event hub' trigger. Would that also work here? Is there any need to build something specific to Azure IoT Hubs, or would it be more or less an alias to Event Hubs?

[tomkerkhove]

That's correct but as you suggest I think we need to have an alias for this as a lot of customers are not aware of it (and frankly they shouldn't care).

So I'm fine with just an alias, unless there is another reasonable scenario in which people would want to scale.

[jeffhollan]

Awesome. Let's see if we can add it as an alias and will call it out in the docs as such as well.

@jeffhollan would you mind adding it to the Scaler Prio wiki please?
Thanks!
