What is IoT hub Azure?
Azure IoT Hub is Microsoft’s Internet of Things connector to the cloud. It’s a fully managed cloud service that enables reliable and secure bi-directional communications between millions of IoT devices and a solution back end. Cloud-to-device messages let you send commands and notifications to your connected devices.
What is Azure technology stack?
Azure Stack is Azure technology built on vetted hardware and distributed by approved vendors that bring Azure cloud technology into your data center. The vendors manage the hardware (as of this writing, Dell, Lenovo and HPE with Cisco coming soon) and Microsoft manages the software.
How does Azure IoT work?
IoT Hub is a managed service hosted in the cloud that acts as a central message hub for communication between an IoT application and its attached devices. You can connect millions of devices and their backend solutions reliably and securely. Almost any device can be connected to an IoT Hub.
What is Azure stack vs Azure?

Why do we need IoT hub?
IoT Hub allows data to be sent on secure communications channels. Each device connects securely to the hub and each device can be managed securely. You can control access at the per-device level and devices are automatically provisioned to the correct hub when the device first boots up.
What is IoT edge?
The Internet-of-Things (IoT) edge is where sensors and devices communicate real-time data to a network. IoT edge computing solves latency issues associated with the cloud, as data is processed closer to its point of origin.
Is Azure IoT hub free?
The IoT Hub Free Edition is intended to encourage proof of concept projects. It enables you to transmit up to a total of 8,000 messages per day and register up to 500 device identities. The device identity limit is only present for the Free Edition.
What can I run on Azure stack?
