Working with Microsoft Azure IoT Hub
Azure IoT Hub offers reliable device-to-cloud and cloud-to-device hyper-scale messaging, enables secure communications using per-device security credentials and access control, and includes device libraries for the most popular languages and platforms.
Various IoT boards can be connected to Azure IoT Hub. You can check if your board can connect or not by visiting https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/develop/iot/get-started/.
