Overview of this book

Microsoft’s end-to-end IoT platform is the most complete IoT offering, empowering enterprises to build and realize value from IoT solutions efficiently. It is important to develop robust and reliable solutions for your organization to leverage IoT services. This book focuses on how to start building custom solutions using the IoT hub or the preconfigured solution of Azure IoT suite. As a developer, you will be taught how to connect multiple devices to the Azure IoT hub, develop, manage the IoT hub service and integrate the hub with cloud. We will be covering REST APIs along with HTTP, MQTT and AMQP protocols. It also helps you learn Pre-Configured IoT Suite solution. Moving ahead we will be covering topics like:-Process device-to-cloud messages and cloud-to-device messages using .Net-Direct methods and device management-Query Language, Azure IoT SDK for .Net-Creating and managing, Securing IoT hub, IoT Suite and many more. We will be using windows 10 IoT core, Visual Studio, universal Windows platform. At the end, we will take you through IoT analytics and provide a demo of connecting real device with Azure IoT.

Messaging - device-to-cloud

The IoT Hub device-to-cloud messaging, which is referred to as telemetry data, is implemented as a streaming messaging pattern. The telemetry can be sensor data collected by the IoT device, along with the timestamp and metadata for the device. IoT Hub exposes the endpoints that will enable the device-to-cloud messages. The default route is /devices//messages/events, which is compatible with event hubs. Once the IoT Hub is configured for message routing, the routing rules engine then routes your messages to one of the service-facing endpoints on your IoT Hub which are sent from the IoT devices, example a temperature sensor is sending data, suppose the temperature falls below 25 C it will be routed to custom endpoints.

IoT Hub also provides the message routing mechanism while sending the device-to-cloud message. When we have many IoT devices out in the...
