Azure IoT Hub

Azure IoT Hub is Microsoft's comprehensive cloud platform designed to handle massive IoT deployments at scale. Connect virtually any device with per-device authentication and built-in security features that protect both cloud-to-device and device-to-cloud communications.

Key capabilities include:

• Bidirectional communication - Send telemetry data from devices and reliably deliver commands back with delivery acknowledgments
• Device Update for IoT Hub - Deploy over-the-air updates to keep devices secure and current without custom development
• Zero-touch provisioning - Automatically register and configure devices at scale through the Device Provisioning Service
• Azure IoT Edge integration - Extend cloud intelligence to edge devices with offline capabilities
• Enterprise security - Individual device identities, selective access control, and comprehensive compliance certifications

The platform integrates seamlessly with Azure Event Grid and serverless compute services, simplifying IoT application development. With support for HTTPS, AMQP, and MQTT protocols, Azure IoT Hub accommodates diverse device ecosystems while providing 99.9% SLA reliability.

Perfect for organizations building hybrid IoT solutions that require secure, scalable device management with the flexibility to run intelligence both in the cloud and at the edge.
