Azure IoT Development Cookbook

By: Yatish Patil

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.

IP filtering with IoT Hub

Security is an important aspect of any IoT solution based on the Azure IoT Hub. Sometimes, your IoT solution needs to explicitly give the range of the IP addresses from which the devices can connect as part of the custom IoT security configuration. IP filtering enables customers to configure IoT Hub to only accept connections from specific IP addresses assigned to the IoT devices or to block communication for a specific range of IP addresses.

Getting ready

The IP filter configuration is very easy for an administrator. These rules apply any time a device or a backend application connects on any supported protocols (currently AMQP, MQTT, AMQP/WS, MQTT/WS, HTTP/1).

The IP filter allows a maximum 10 rules...
