Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP)

AMQP is considered to be a secure and reliable IoT protocol; it is also an advanced protocol. AMQP is mostly used in business messaging. AMQP works well for enterprise applications and server-to-server communication.

How to do it...

We will create a simulator application to ingest messages using AMQP protocol:

1. Create a device simulator to send a message to IoT Hub:

deviceClient = DeviceClient.CreateFromConnectionString("HostName=IoTHubCookBook.azure-devices.net;DeviceId=myFirstDevice;SharedAccessKey=XXXXXXXXXXXXX", TransportType.Amqp);

new DeviceSimulator().SendDeviceToCloudMessagesAsync(deviceClient, "myFirstDevice");

2. Send IoT Hub messages using AMQP:
