- [Instructor] What is an Azure IoT Edge module? To understand in greater detail how Azure IoT Edge works, let's dive deeper into the Edge module. This is the smallest unit of compute managed by the IoT Edge runtime. Modules can contain services, such as Azure Stream Analytics or they can be your own domain-specific module code required by your IoT Edge solution, such as remote monitoring of assets in the oil and gas industry. The first steps within the IoT Edge process include writing an IoT Edge module. An IoT Edge module is written using a supported language like C#, C or others. Next, we need to build and deploy the module to a Docker registry. The module is built and deployed to a Docker registry such as Docker Hub. A Docker registry is used so the IoT Edge runtime can then be configured to pull the module image down from the Docker registry for the module to deploy to one or more IoT Edge devices. We can then…
