Azure IoT Edge brings cloud intelligence to on-premises IoT edge devices, letting you deploy and manage cloud-native workloads—such as AI services or custom business logic—directly on the devices. It enables remote, secure deployment and management of workloads to edge devices, helping consolidate operational data, break data silos, and operate reliably even during extended offline periods. The platform aims to optimize cloud spend and simplify development by letting developers use their existing skills to build and deploy to the edge.
