Description

Azure IoT Hub is a managed service that enables reliable and secure bi-directional communications between millions of IoT devices and a solution back end. It helps you to establish reliable bi-directional communication with these devices and to ingest, store, and analyze data from them. You can also monitor your devices remotely and scale deployments as needed.

Organizations can leverage the IoT Hub service to build and deploy scalable and reliable IoT solutions. It helps lower the cost of IoT solutions by eliminating the need to develop a custom IoT platform. It also helps reduce the management burden by handling tasks such as provisioning, monitoring, and scaling IoT devices.

In this hands-on lab, you will learn how to create an IoT Hub and register a device. You will also learn how to send messages to the device using a Raspberry PI simulator.
