IOT or Internet of Things is an exciting and quickly growing technology which already brings significant change to lots of important elements of modern life. However, as per other newly minted terms, the definition of IoT can also vary according to the person who is speaking. So, if you want to become a professional one, then you must need to take <a href="https://www.dotnettricks.com/training/masters-program/azure-devops">Azure DevOps Online Training</a> along with IoT training from a good organization or institute.

What is IoT?

According to the reference from Wikipedia, The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of devices, vehicles and home appliances which are mainly containing electronics, actuators, software and connectivity to allow these things to connect, interact as well as to exchange the data.

IoT mainly working on expanding internet connection further than some devices including laptops, desktops, tablets and Smartphones to any range of traditional, non-internet physical devices and everyday objects. The devices are surrounded by the latest technology and able to communicate over the Internet and can be remotely monitored and controlled. So, in a short, we can say that PC is not an IoT device but an Internet-connected tracking unit that sends the location and status data to a hub.

What is Azure IoT?

Azure IoT provides a flexible, easy and faster path to deliver differentiate connected products to gain a competitive advantage over the digital transformation with Microsoft Azure. 

Azure mainly offers two primary solutions to built IoT platforms:

1.	Azure IoT Central – It is a fully managed, SaaS platform to enable the creation of IoT solutions with built-in management and operational tools (IoT Central can automatically integrate with Azure IoT Hub and Time Series Insights).

2.	Azure IoT Hub – It is a managed connectivity service that provides you with the ability to create a network of your IoT devices (Azure can incorporate with Azure Event Grid, Azure Machine Learning, Azure Logic Apps an Azure Stream Analytics).

So, one example of IoT configuration among so many others is - an IoT solution which has been built using IoT Central also includes IoT Hub as the interface point for all the connected items. The Stream Analytics works like the real time analysis ingestion engine and data source for the services including dashboards, databases and reports. Azure IoT toolkit offers huge flexibility along with the ability to create PaaS and SaaS IoT solutions that will either turnkey using IoT Central or highly customize, built using IoT Hub.

Azure IoT Central vs. IoT Hub:

For an example, IoT Central SaaS is a fully furnished, ready-to-move house which includes everything that you require from the start (accelerating adoption) whereas IoT Hub PaaS provides the glue for the solution that you build by using preferred tools. 
According to Microsoft, IoT Central is a fully managed SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solution which makes it easy to connect, manage and monitor the IoT assets at scale. Azure IoT Central can simply the initial process of your IoT solution and decrease the management burden, operational costs and overhead of a typical IoT project.

On the other hand, if your requirements are more specific or if you are pointing to existing IoT solutions to Azure, IoT Hub can be the best fit for your needs. 

According to Microsoft, IoT Hub is a managed service which is hosted in the cloud an act as a central message hub for bi-directional communication between the IoT solutions and the devices it manages. A person can use IoT Hub to build IoT solutions with reliable and secure communications between several IoT devices and a cloud-hosted solution blackened. It is possible to connect any device to IoT Hub. 

Companies having knowledge and experience of building IoT applications or whose requirements are not met by IoT Central’s catalogue of pre-created options can able to use IoT Hub as the interacting and communication source for the things their app interfaces with.

Azure IoT Solution Accelerators:
Microsoft provides a helpful collection designed to show the capabilities of Azure IoT solutions and get you acquainted with IoT Technology which includes –
Cloud-based Remote Monitoring
Cloud-based Connected Factory
Cloud-based Predictive Maintenance
Cloud-based device Simulation

Training in Azure IoT: 

Azure IoT is a powerful platform to enable organizations of all sizes to deploy, manage, and scale IoT solutions. Getting Azure DevOps online training in Hyderabad or any part of India will make you able to take full advantage of cloud-native techniques to build a robust IoT application.
