Telemetry
• Need to ingest million events/second from billion (??) devices

www.wpc2015.it – [email protected] - +39 02 365738.11 - #wpc15it 5

Command/Notification
• Need to control devices for executing command
• Need to notify devices with some useful information/events

www.wpc2015.it – [email protected] - +39 02 365738.11 - #wpc15it 6

Think at «scale»
• Start «small» ... to «big»
• Million clients
• Concurrent

100 10,000 1,000,000

Need for a “gate”
• Need for a «gate» to handle communication between :
 Cloud services (and apps ?)
 Devices

IoT Hub : the Azure IoT Cloud Gateway

www.wpc2015.it – [email protected] - +39 02 365738.11 9

IoT Hub : features
• Connection
 bidirectional comunication
 reliable & secure channel
 per-device authentication
 multiplexing
• Features
 device to cloud telemetry
 cloud to device commands and notifications (with TTL & feedback)
 bulk uploads/downloads
 monitoring devices (connection, activity, ...)
 multi protocols (AMQP, HTTP)  IoT Protocol Gateway (MQTT)
www.wpc2015.it – [email protected] - +39 02 365738.11 10
IoT Hub : endpoints
• Device To Cloud
 D2C : send messages to the cloud (telemetry data, outcome for a
received command or request for execution)
 C2D : receive commands for executing the requested action. IoT
Hub generates a feedback for the cloud
• Cloud To Device
 C2D : send messages (ex. commands) to the devices. Like a queue
and each message has a TTL (Time To Live)
 D2C : retrieve messages from device (telemetry or outcome for
commands). Event Hubs compatible. On a different path there are
feedbacks on command delivery

www.wpc2015.it – [email protected] - +39 02 365738.11 11

 IoT Hub : message lifecycle
• Service send
 feedback (none, positive, negative, full)
 feedback retention
 message TTL
• Device receive
 complete
 abandon
 reject
• Message size
 Max 256 KB / chunk 16 KB

www.wpc2015.it – [email protected] - +39 02 365738.11 12

 IoT Hub : internal architecture analogy
/device/[DEVICE_ID]/messages/events
D2C D2C

C2D /device/[DEVICE_ID]/messages/devicebound /messages/devicebound

C2D

Forwarding on the right device queue reading :

Msg.To = /device/[DEVICE_ID]/messages/devicebound

Feedback generation based on

device accept/reject or TTL expiration /messages/servicebound/feedback

 Developing on IoT Hub : SDKs
• For devices and field gateway • For back-ends and cloud gateway
• Platforms • Languages
 Windows  .Net C#
 Linux  Java
 RTOS (freeRTOS), ARM mbed  JavaScript (NodeJS)
 Android, iOS
 WEC2013 ? .Net MF ? Stay tuned !
• Languages
 C#, C, Java, JavaScript (NodeJS)

No SDK for your platform ? Porting or ... AMQP and HTTP directly !!

Identity, Authentication & Security
• Identity
 devices registry
 provisioning APIs (create, delete, ...)
 monitoring (connection status, activity, ...)
• Authentication
 permission (r-only registry, r/w registry, device, service)
 policy made with one or more permissions
 per-device auth with SAS token (from device id and device key)
• Security
 encrypted channel  SSL/TLS protocol

www.wpc2015.it – [email protected] - +39 02 365738.11 16

Prices, Quotas & Throttling
• prices based on :
 IoT Hub units (up to 200 or ... contact Microsoft Support)
 number of devices
 total number of messages/day
 messages billed as 16 KB chunk
• throttling based on identity registry ops, device connections,
D2C & C2D operations
