IoT in Azure
A variety of devices now have the ability to report metrics about status, performance, or other sensor information. Collecting this information and making it useful in business operations can be difficult and the Internet of Things (IoT) provides options for consuming, processing, and reporting. Microsoft has introduced a number of different offerings, and in this episode, we touch on a couple of them and discuss scenarios where one may serve you better than another.
I am thinking about the ability [for] our fridges or our devices to start talking to us, giving us metrics on things…sensor data, status information…which is really neat. The downside is that there’s lots of information to collect now.
