Tips and Tidbits

 

  • IoT Hub is a managed service hosted in the cloud that acts as a central message hub for communication between an IoT application and its attached devices. 

  • You can connect millions of devices and their backend solutions reliably and securely. Almost any device can be connected to an IoT Hub.

  • IoT Hub scales to millions of simultaneously connected devices and millions of events per second to support your IoT workloads.

  • Typically, IoT devices send telemetry from the sensors to back-end services in the cloud.

    • However, other types of communication are possible, such as a back-end service sending commands to your devices.

    • Azure Data Factory cannot be used for real-time analysis from IoT Hub events.

      • Use Azure Stream Analytics for real-time event processing
