    Hi Pavithvishnu,

     

    thank you for posting your question. I can assure you that Azure IoT Hub is not being deprecated. Our team continues to be invested in supporting and improving this service. For example, we have the GA announcement of the Cosmos DB routing integration coming up in the next couple of weeks (stay tuned for the announcement on this forum).

    With respect to the links you provided:
    1) The preview of "IoT Hub on Azure Stack Hub" was deprecated for technical reasons. Some of the key dependencies of IoT Hub could not be enabled on Azure Stack Hub. Without them we could not guarantee production-level performance and reliability for IoT Hub. Therefore we decided to not move forward with the preview to GA.

     

    2) The second link is about an outdated SDK that didn't follow modern SDK design guidelines. It has been replaced with a new version that follows the current Azure SDK guidelines:
    Microsoft Azure IoT Hub management client library for .NET - Azure for .NET Developers | Microsoft Learn 

     

    Thanks!

Stefan-Wick,

Is there any IOT Hub solution that can be deployed on-premises? We have customers that won't allow IOT data to exit their country and there is no Azure services available in-country. Any thoughts on how best to deal with such a scenario?

Thanks

Michiel
