Abstract
The Azure IoT Edge platform is an extension of the Azure IoT suite of services and, consequently, leverages the same Azure platform services. There are some differences between a canonical IoT solution and an IoT Edge solution in the IoT Hub service and I will highlight those differences where appropriate. To begin your journey toward using and benefiting from the Azure IoT Edge computing platform, you must understand the basic concepts of Azure IoT, Azure IoT Edge, and some of the related technologies. Azure IoT Edge makes use of some existing technologies, like containers, and therefore requires at least a basic understanding of those as well. If you are new to building Azure IoT solutions, this chapter will help you understand the basics of IoT in Azure and catch you up on the changes that have been added to support the IoT Edge platform.
