Introduction
Earlier this month/week, we announced that you can now benefit from the combined power of Ubuntu Core and Azure IoT Edge to bring the computation, storage, and AI capabilities of the cloud closer to the edge of the network. Azure IoT Edge is a device-focused runtime that enables you to deploy, run, and monitor containerised Linux workloads. Ubuntu Core is a version of Ubuntu that has been specially optimised for IoT and embedded systems. The combination of the two is ideal for those looking for reduced latency, lower bandwidth, and more efficient data processing.
This tutorial helps you get started using an Ubuntu Core device and managing it from the Azure IoT Hub. Azure IoT Hub is the cloud platform which allows you to connect to, configure and deploy Edge workloads directly to your device.
Setting up Ubuntu Core
Ubuntu Core is a minimal, immutable version of Ubuntu focused on providing a reliable and secure platform for connected devices.
