We will also build an end-to-end example.

Figure 3-1 shows the architecture overview of the Microsoft Azure IoT Suite. Azure IoT has several building blocks that can be used to create complex IoT solutions. As with all IoT solutions, Azure IoT Suite can be broken down into three key elements:

  • Device connectivity

  • Data processing, analytics, and device management

  • Presentation and business connectivity

Major Azure service components used for building IoT solutions are:

  • IoT Hub

  • IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service

  • Event ...
