What is Azure IoT Hub?
Used to manage, monitor. and send messages to IoT devices either individually or in groups.
You can add up to 1 million devices to a single IoT hub.
What is cloud to device (C2D) messaging?
Sending messages to IoT devices or devices to IoT hub.
How does IoT Hub protect messages between devices?
IoT Hub creates a connection string that uses a shared access key for authentication. It is therefore encrypted.
What is a DEVICE TWIN?
Every IoT device in IoT Hub has a logical equivalent that is stored in the IoT Hub, stored in JSON format.
Device Twins contain metadata and device properties to help further categorize IoT devices. This metadata is saved as TAGS .
How many copies are there of the properties of IoT devices in IoT Hub?
Two copies: REPORTED PROPERTY and DESIRED PROPERTY
What is the DESIRED PROPERTY in IoT Hub?
It allows you to change device properties in IoT Hub.
What does the REPORTED PROPERTY do?
It maintains the last value an IoT device reports to IoT Hub until it is updated.
What is IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service (DPS)?
DPS uses enrollment groups to add devices to IoT Hub.
What are the two pricing tiers for IoT Hub?
Basic and Standard
Can you change to a different pricing tier in IoT Hub?
No
What is IoT Central?
It is a SaaS for IoT devices. You create your application to manage IoT devices.
What are the three built-in roles in IoT Central and why are there roles available?
Roles are used by the administrator to control what people can do with the app.
The three roles are: Administrator, Builder, and operator
What is the Administrator role in IoT Central?
Users have full access to applications and can edit pages or add users.
What is the Builder role in IoT Central?
The builder role can edit pages but cannot perform admin tasks.
What is the Operator role in IoT Central?
Operators can use IoT Central applications only.
Can you create your own IoT Central roles?
Yes, so you have the flexibility to determine which permissions users have.
What is Azure Sphere?
Azure Sphere is a Microsoft secure IoT ecosystem based around a microprocessor unit (MCU). It enforces secure connections between IoT devices.
What is Synapse Analytics?
Synapse Analytics is used to analyze Big Data. It stores
What is an Azure Synapse Cluster?
Azure Synapse runs in a Synapse Cluster. A synapse cluster consists of:
1 Synapse SQL
2 Apache Spark integration
3 Data integration of Spark and Azure Data Lake Storage
4 A web-based user interface called Azure Synapse Studio
What is Synapse SQL?
The datawarehousing part of Azure Synapse.
