Core Capabilities New
Device Connectivity
Secure, reliable, bidirectional communication between billions of devices and the cloud using MQTT, AMQP, and HTTPS.
Device Provisioning Service (DPS)
Zero-touch, automated provisioning for devices at scale, supporting X.509 and TPM attestation.
Message Routing
Directly route device telemetry to Azure services such as Event Hubs, Service Bus, Storage, or custom endpoints.
Device Twins
Maintain a JSON document per device for metadata, configuration, and state synchronization.
Advanced Features
Device Management
Remote firmware updates, module deployment, and lifecycle management through IoT Edge.
Built‑in Monitoring
Live metrics, health diagnostics, and integration with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics.
Scale & Performance
Supports up to millions of devices per hub with auto‑scale options and tiered pricing.
Identity & Access Control
Per‑device authentication, role‑based access (RBAC), and Azure Active Directory integration.
Edge Computing
Run cloud workloads locally on IoT Edge devices, reducing latency and bandwidth usage.
Integration Ecosystem
Seamless connectivity to Azure Functions, Stream Analytics, Power BI, and third‑party services.
Getting the Most Out of IoT Hub
- Best Practices: Use Device Provisioning Service for scalable onboarding.
- Security: Enable X.509 certificates and Managed Identities for services.
- Cost Management: Choose the appropriate tier (Free, S1, S2, S3) based on message volume.
- Diagnostics: Leverage built‑in metrics and enable Event Hub capture for deep analysis.
