Azure IoT Edge is a fully-managed cloud intelligence service that monitors IoT devices and responds to critical data in real-time. The updates to Azure IoT Edge allow the service&#8217;s runtime to operate on VMs running various operating systems. Microsoft added VM support to provide a wider range of environments for users to deploy their IoT solution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"msp-speedbump\" title=\"Download link to Managed Service Providers Buyers Guide\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/cloud-platforms\/managed-service-provider-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/cloud-platforms\/files\/2018\/07\/Managed-Service-Providers-Speedbump-1.jpg\" alt=\"Download Link to Managed Service Providers Buyers Guide\" width=\"771\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Azure IoT Edge supports several VM environments, including Windows, Ubuntu, and Debian. In addition, Microsoft <a href=\"https:\/\/octo.vmware.com\/azure-iot-edge-on-vmware-vsphere\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">partnered<\/a> with cloud infrastructure provider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmware.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VMWare<\/a> to run Azure IoT Edge using VMWare&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmware.com\/products\/vsphere.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vSphere<\/a> solution. The cooperation between Microsoft and VMWare gives customers a simplified avenue to integrate Azure IoT Edge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Azure\u2019s intelligent edge portfolio is designed to run on a breath of hardware to match our customers\u2019 scenarios,&#8221; Azure IoT Principal Program Manager <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/author\/cstreet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chipalo Street<\/a> stated in a press release. &#8220;This includes everything from microcontroller units (MCUs) running Azure Sphere to a fully consistent experience that is both cloud and edge, powered by Azure Stack. Azure IoT Edge already supports a variety of Linux and Windows operating systems as well as a spectrum of hardware from devices smaller than a Raspberry Pi to servers. Supporting IoT Edge in VMware vSphere offers even more customer choice for those who want to run AI on infrastructure they already own.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Microsoft introduced Azure IoT Edge in 2017 and made it generally available to enterprise-grade businesses the next year. The service uses AI to gather intelligence and analytics on IoT devices and respond to important real-time data. The runtime for Azure IoT Edge is open-source, but they also offer a cloud interface for secure management of IoT devices. Microsoft designed Azure IoT Edge to work alongside Azure&#8217;s other IoT offerings and supports several different coding languages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em><strong>Check us out on\u00a0<a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CloudTechReview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0for the latest in Cloud news and developments!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"c-speedbump\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/cloud-platforms\/container-management-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/cloud-platforms\/files\/2019\/01\/container-management-speedbump-cta.jpg\" alt=\"Download Link to Container Management Buyers Guide\" width=\"771\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft recently announced an expansion to Azure&#8217;s Internet of things (IoT) intelligence service, Azure IoT Edge, that introduces virtual machine (VM) support.
