Cloud-based interface

The Azure cloud-based interface allows the user to manage and monitor edge IoT devices.

The cloud service allows us to do the following:

• Creation and configuration of a workload to be run on a specific device
• Sending out a workload to a set of devices
• Monitoring of workloads running on field devices

We will cover more of this in Chapter 4, Working with Microsoft Azure IoT Hub, as we get some hands-on experience with Azure IoT Edge.
