Azure IoT integrates with embedded systems by providing a comprehensive platform that connects, monitors, and controls IoT devices. It offers Azure IoT Hub, a cloud service that enables bi-directional communication between IoT applications and the devices they manage. Embedded systems, which are often constrained by limited processing power and memory, can use lightweight protocols like MQTT or AMQP to connect to Azure IoT Hub. This allows these systems to send telemetry data to the cloud and receive commands or configuration updates in real-time.

Azure also provides device SDKs that are compatible with various embedded operating systems, making it easier for developers to integrate their hardware with the cloud. These SDKs support C, Python, Java, and other languages commonly used in embedded programming. Once connected, Azure IoT Central and Azure IoT Edge offer tools to manage, monitor, and even run AI models on embedded devices locally, reducing latency and improving efficiency.

This seamless integration of Azure IoT with embedded systems enables the development of scalable, secure, and intelligent IoT solutions, transforming traditional embedded devices into smart, connected systems. To gain hands-on experience in this field, consider enrolling in an embedded system certification course.
