Step-by-step guide to installing OPC Publisher on Azure IoT Edge
Of all the Azure IoT Edge modules, the https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/microsoft_iot.iotedge-opc-publisher?tab=Overview is one of the more challenging modules to setup. I've had a number of Industrial IoT partners struggle with connecting an https://opcfoundation.org/about/opc-technologies/opc-ua/ server, such as a Historian or SCADA system, to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/about-iot-hub using https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/about-iot-edge and our open source OPC Publisher module. So I recently wrote a step-by-step https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/step-by-step-guide-installing-opc-publisher-azure-iot-kevin-hilscher/ on LinkedIn on how to do this. If you don't have a physical device to act as the IoT Edge gateway, you can use a virtual machine running on-premise or in Azure as an alternative. Hopefully the blog post will help you and save you some headaches when connecting using OPC UA.Processing ordered IoT streams in Azure
There are thousands of articles on the Internet talking about how the cloud can be used to process discrete (un-ordered) streaming IoT data. But almost all are short on specifics and the design trade-offs you need to make when processing ordered IoT streams, at scale. This article discusses why scale can be difficult to achieve, especially when the ordering of the events (aka Series events) is important. Jeff Hollan wrote an article which illustrates the challenge when using Azure Functions, for example. And if you need a primer on Real-time processing, Events, Messages, Series events and Discrete events, please review the following articles: Real time processing Events, Data Points, and Messages - Choosing the right Azure messaging service for your data Choose between Azure messaging services - Event Grid, Event Hubs, and Service BusIoT Device Simulation - Device simulator covering a wide range of Azure IoT SDK features
Hi all, In case you will find this useful for your IoT projects, you will find https://github.com/jonmikeli/azureiotdevicesimulator an #iot device #simulation tool implementing a wide range of #azure IoT SDK capabilities. The approach of the solution is to complete other https://jmidotnetfr.wordpress.com/2019/08/25/azure-iot-device-simulator-vs-microsoft-device-simulator-accelerator/. The solution is a .NET Core application. It can be used : as a development tool as a complete IoT flow simulation tool from the device perspective (C2D/D2C, including IoTHub modules) for building simulation platforms (containerized, Docker image). Many configurations are possible through JSON-based settings. All details are https://github.com/jonmikeli/azureiotdevicesimulator ;). Enjoy 😉
TLS 1.0 and 1.1 Support on Azure Web App
I know Azure is winding up support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 by August 2025. Does anyone can help me to access our existing IoT devices to connect to Azure Web App using this TLS 1.0 and 1.1? Our device were connecting to azure server fine until Mid March 2025. At end of March 2025 we lost access to this IoT devices which uses TLS 1.0, 1.1. Any thoughts or any one have any idea why it stopped before the deadline of August 2025? And what can be done to get back this devices online? #IoTHub #WebApp #Azure #TLS #TLS1.0 #TLS1.1 #SNI
Visual Studio 2019 extension for building REST APIs exposing IoT Hub features
Hi all, If you need to write REST APIs (.Net Core) to expose or complete IoT Hub APIs or create a facade, this https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JonMikelInza.IoTHubDotNetCoreRESTAPITemplate will help you to save a few minutes. It creates a ready to use solution in a few seconds and allows you to focus on important code (business logic, etc). The created API includes other features like: - API versioning - Automatic OpenAPI generation (versioned according to API versions) - separated layers - minimalistic solution with required dependencies only The only thing you need to do is to set the IoT Hub connection in the configuration file (appsettings.json). More details https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JonMikelInza.IoTHubDotNetCoreRESTAPITemplate.
