Connecting a VM running Linux to an Azure IoT Hub

Question

Greetings,

as the title says I have a VM running CentOS Linux 7, and I need to connect it to an IoT HuB since I already have developed a system chaining the IoT HuB with Azure Functions.

I can guess how can I get the public/private key from Azure to execute the connection, but I do not know what to install nor what to do with the VM.

I already looked into their documentation, but I have only found IoT devices with other OS.

Thank you!

Hello XavoPls,

You can use the apt-get packages for Linux(VM) devices.Microsoft has created apt-get packages that are published on the Launchpad platform, it simpler to use the IoT Hub device SDK on Linux. Please refer to document here.

You can also use other SDKs which support on Linux, such as python, java, NodeJs. 

This tutorial shows how to use Azure IoT Hub portal tools and Azure CLI commands to retrieve the connection string and test device connectivity.

Best Regards,

Michael
