Abstract

Cloud-based IoT platforms are gaining momentum in recent years with notable advances made by large corporations such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. Cloud-based IoT platforms are attractive to industries with IoT needs due to the scalability and resiliency of cloud-based systems. However, IoT applications are complex software systems, and software developers need to have thorough understanding of the capabilities, limitations, architecture, and design patterns of the cloud platforms and cloud-based IoT tools to build an efficient, maintainable, and customizable IoT application. This chapter will review the cloud-based IoT tools of Microsoft Azure platform.
