The Azure IoT Hub team needs your feedback about the new features in preview
Hi IoT friends The Azure IoT Hub team regularly publishes new features in preview so you get a chance to test them and provide feedback. Here is your opportunity to let them know what you liked, what works/doesn't work for you, what your suggestions are. You can find more information for the preview features here: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/iot-hub/iot-hub-preview-mode. Your feedback will help the team deliver what you need! The Survey is this way: https://aka.ms/iothubpreviewsurveySurvey: Do you need long running or offline support for Cloud to Device commands with Azure IoT Hub?
In IoT, the "T" stands for Things, devices, and the "I" stands for Internet, connection. For the T, the I can sometimes be a challenge: how do you manage devices when they are not permanently connected and might not show up on the network very often? Does your current or planned IoT project require support for Cloud-To-Device long running or offline commands to devices when managed through Azure IoT Hub? Long running commands may need seconds or minutes before being executed. Offline commands are used when the device is offline: the method call is recorded by the service and sent to the device when it reconnects. Let us know in this short survey:https://aka.ms/LongCallSupportSurveyThe team needs your input about your overall experience with Azure IoT Edge
