Internet of Things is an ongoing communication between on-prem devices and the cloud

IoT Hub

• A hub where IoT devices can communicate to

• Device to cloud telemetry

• Device to cloud upload

• Cloud to device

Device Twin

• In the IoT hub, you can write an app that communicates with the device twin in Azure

  • When the physical device checks in with the IoT hub, it will perform that action

  • IoT hub is responsible for the underlying plumbing AKA SDKs

IoT Central

• Uses IoT Hub

• IoT Central can be considered SaaS whereas IoT hub is more PaaS

• Right out of the box it provides dashboards and device templates for common industry scenarios

• Ability to simulate devices for testing

• Create rules via a wizard

Azure Sphere

• Provides end to end security

• Microsoft licenses the software for manufacturers to install Azure Sphere on a micro controller unit (IoT device)
