Azure IoT Hub is a cloud-based managed service that is a central messaging hub for communication between an IoT application and the devices. It supports diverse messaging patterns such as device-to-cloud telemetry, file uploads, and request-reply methods for IoT device control. Azure IoT Hub incorporates Device Update for over-the-air updates, as well as integrates with Azure Event Grid and serverless computers for the application development. In addition, it supports compatibility with Azure IoT Edge to create hybrid IoT applications.
