What is Azure IOT Does it connect only azure cloud infrastructure

Question

Can somebody explain what Azure IOT is all about? Is it only for microsoft's cloud infra? what all does it include?

Answer 1

The Azure Internet of Things (IoT) is a collection of Microsoft-managed cloud services that connect, monitor, and control billions of IoT assets. 

In simpler terms, an IoT solution is made up of one or more IoT devices and one or more back-end services running in the cloud that communicate with each other.
