Azure IoT Edge Updates
Updates to Azure Internet of Things (IoT), a collection of Microsoft-managed cloud services that connect, monitor and control IoT assets, allow for secure data connections and use of Windows and Linux.
Azure IoT Edge nesting capabilities are now generally available, allowing industrial customers to secure critical assets under the ANSI/ISA-95 standard for network isolation. By enabling hierarchies of IoT edge devices through the automation pyramid, manufacturers can collect data from their systems, aggregate it and forward it to the cloud without compromising those systems, according to Microsoft.
Azure IoT Edge for Linux on Windows (EFLOW) also is generally available. EFLOW allows customers to use both Windows and Linux instead of having to choose just one. Customers retain their existing Windows IoT assets and get the power of Windows IoT for apps requiring an interactive UX and high-performance hardware interaction.
