Azure IoT Suite adds device management capability updates
Hello everyone, Today, Microsoft added these device management features to the Azure IoT Suite remote monitoring preconfigured solution. The Azure IoT Suite simplifies deploying and orchestrating advanced services to give businesses a complete IoT solution from proof of concept to broader deployment. With new device management functionality in Azure IoT Suite, developers will be able to quickly move beyond telemetry processing, rule management, and visualization to customize their device overview, queries and device lists. These enhancements include: Synchronizing settings and metadata between the cloud and devices using device twins. Performing an action on a connected device through the cloud using direct methods. Broadcasting and orchestrating operations on multiple devices at a planned time through jobs. Attesting the status and health for on or offline device collections using real-time, dynamic queries across device twins and jobs.

As part of Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to open source and interoperability in IoT, I’m pleased to announce the release of a new open source project to enable devices that are connected to Azure IoT Hub to store data in a Cassandra database. The code can be found on GitHub.Microsoft and Cisco enable Azure IoT Suite to connect to Cisco Fog Deployments
As we announced recently, Microsoft thinks there is a natural balance between the cloud and the edge in IoT. Why? Cloud is a natural place to manage IoT devices, to collect data from them, gain insights using analytics and then operationalize those insights. Edge is a natural place to collect, optimize and react to data with low latency based on the insights generated in the cloud. In this way, cloud and edge work together to help IoT reach its full potential. This week, Microsoft participated in Cisco’s IoT World Forum in London where conversations like this are taking place and how to help customers gain intelligence from their data faster and more easily.

Back in November, we announced the general availability of the Azure IoT Gateway SDK. We’ve already heard from a number of customers who are leveraging the open source Gateway SDK to connect their legacy devices or run analytics at the edge of their network. It’s great to see quick adoption! With the Gateway SDK’s modular architecture, developers can also program their own custom modules to perform specific actions. Thanks to its flexible design, you can create these modules in your preferred language – Node.js, Java, C#, or C. We want to further simplify the experience of getting started with writing modules for the Gateway SDK. Today, we are announcing availability of packages to streamline the developer experience, enabling you to get started in minutes!

As businesses learn to harness the transformational power of IoT, IoT devices are becoming a mission-critical business asset. Today, IoT solutions use IoT devices to sense things in the real world with processing and decision making happening in the cloud, but as IoT continues to mature there are many use cases where it’s more appropriate to process data or take action directly on the IoT device itself. Earlier this year at our //Build developer conference, we introduced a revolutionary new product, Azure IoT Edge, to address these needs. Azure IoT Edge enables businesses to run cloud intelligence directly on IoT devices even smaller than a Raspberry Pi or as powerful as they need.

Last month, we announced the work we have been doing to create the next generation of Azure IoT Suite preconfigured solutions. It is our pleasure to announce that you can now deploy the updated version of the Remote Monitoring solution from AzureIoTSuite.com and your development CLI. This is a major update with a lot of newly enabled scenarios and features, so we wanted to provide more guidance on how to get started. Explore the solution code and learn more on the blog.
