Use a step-by-step process to create and deploy your first Azure IoT Edge solution.Modern day developers and architects in today’s cloud-focused world must understand when it makes sense to leverage the cloud. Computing on the edge is a new paradigm for most people. The Azure IoT Edge platform uses many existing technologies that may be familiar to developers, but understanding how to leverage those technologies in an edge computing scenario can be challenging.Beginning Azure IoT Edge Computing demystifies computing on the edge and explains, through concrete examples and exercises, how and when to leverage the power of intelligent edge computing. It introduces the possibilities of intelligent edge computing using the Azure IoT Edge platform, and guides you through hands-on exercises to make edge computing approachable, understandable, and highly useful.Through user-friendlydiscussion you will not only understand how to build edge solutions, but also when to build them. By explaining some common solution patterns, the decision on when to use the cloud and when to avoid the cloud will become much clearer.What You'll LearnCreate and deploy Azure IoT Edge solutionsRecognize when to leverage the intelligent edge pattern and when to avoid itLeverage the available developer tooling to develop and debug IoT Edge solutionsKnow which off-the-shelf edge computing modules are availableBecome familiar with some of the lesser-known device protocols used in conjunction with edge computingUnderstand how to securely deploy and bootstrap an IoT Edge deviceExplore related topics such as containers and secure device provisioningWho This Book Is ForDevelopers or architects who want to understand edge computing and when and where to use it. Readers should be familiar with C# or Python and have a high-level understanding of the Azure IoT platform.
