Azure IoT Services Documentation

Welcome to the official documentation for Microsoft Azure's suite of Internet of Things (IoT) services. Azure provides a comprehensive, scalable, and secure platform to connect, monitor, and manage your IoT assets, from small sensor networks to complex enterprise-scale solutions.

Explore the following key services and their capabilities:

Azure IoT Hub

A managed cloud service that enables reliable, bidirectional communication between millions of IoT devices and a cloud-hosted backend. It acts as a central message hub.

Azure IoT Central

An integrated IoT solution platform that reduces the burden of managing and developing IoT projects. It provides a fully managed SaaS application that connects, monitors, and manages IoT devices.

Azure Digital Twins

A next-generation IoT solution that creates a dynamic virtual representation of an entire environment, including people, places, and devices. It models relationships between entities.

Azure IoT Edge

Extends cloud intelligence and analytics to edge devices, enabling them to act locally on data generated by those devices. This allows for faster responses and reduces the need to send all data to the cloud.

Azure Stream Analytics

A real-time analytics and complex event-processing engine that helps you analyze and process high volumes of streaming data from multiple sources simultaneously.

Azure Time Series Insights

An end-to-end service that makes it easy to ingest, store, visualize, and query massive amounts of IoT data from your devices, as well as analyze historical and near real-time data.
