Deployment of Azure IoT Edge modules from the Azure Portal

Deployment of Azure IoT Edge modules from the Azure portal is perfect for your business. If you have more than one module that is working together to collect data, it is important to declare the routing rules which connect them. It is no hard to build an automated IoT Edge deployment in the Azure portal to handle ongoing deployments for multiple devices simultaneously. Automatic IoT Edge deployments are a part of IoT Hub’s automated system management functionality. Deployments are dynamic processes that allow you to deploy different modules to different devices, monitor the module’s status and safety, and adjust accordingly.

Here is a process of how to deploy Azure IoT Edge modules:

First, you have to Sign-in to the Azure portal and try to navigate to your IoT hub in a correct manner
On the left side of the portal is a menu button, select IoT Edge from the menu.
Then click on the ID of the device that you choose from the list of devices present there.
Then select Set Modules on the upper bar.
Then move on to the Container Registry.
After you select the AzureIoT Edge Modules section of the page, select Add.
Here are a few types of modules which comes from the drop-down menu:
- IoT Edge Module
- Marketplace Module
- Azure Stream Analytics Module
Once you finish adding a module, complete the rest of the fields, and review deployment.

View modules on your device

Once you finish adding deployed modules to the device, you can have a look at them in your IoT hub. You will see the name of each module and other important information that includes deployment status and exit code right there.

Deploy modules from Azure Marketplace

The azure marketplace is the best online marketplace for software and services where you can access a wide variety of business cloud solutions, authorized, and designed to run on Azure IoT Edge modules. You can deploy the IoT Edge Module easily from the IoT hub in the Azure portal.

Here are a few steps to take to install it onto your device:

Select set the module which will be listed in the IoT edge module section
Then in the Azure Portal navigate to the IoT Hub
On the left side, there is an option to choose IoT Edge under automatic device management
To receive the deployment, select IoT Edge
In the end, select the marketplace module from the IoT Edge Modules section and add it.

This whole process is used to deploy Azure IoT Edge Module. You may build a basic deployment that includes runtime modules for the framework, and any overall cognitive function and routes. The important thing to remember is that each device can only use one deployment. Lastly, there is an option to use layered deployment that only consists of custom modules and no other runtime system modules.
