I used Azure IoT Hub earlier and now I found a new topic Azure IoT Central
which looks as same as the Azure IoT Hub
.
I am confused with the difference between these IoT Services, Can anyone explain me the difference and which one is better between Azure IoT Central
and Azure IoT Hub
?
Thanks in advance
This page offers a good overview about the different IoT options on Azure: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-central/overview-iot-options
Microsoft Azure IoT Central and Azure IoT offer several options for building an IoT solution. These options are appropriate for different sets of customer requirements:
Azure IoT Central is a software as a service (SaaS) solution that uses a model-based approach to help you to build enterprise-grade IoT solutions without requiring expertise in cloud-solution development.
Azure IoT solution accelerators are an enterprise-grade collection of solution accelerators built on Azure platform as a service (PaaS) that help you accelerate the development of custom IoT solutions.
All of those build on IoT Hub which is the foundational PaaS (Plattform as a Service) offering for device connectivity, management and communication.
