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.
