The simplest way to get started is to deploy the Azure Industrial IoT Platform and Simulation demonstrator using the deployment script. Unless you decide otherwise, it also deploys 2 simulated Edge Gateways and assets.
The all in one hosting option is intended as a quick start solution. For production deployments that require staging, rollback, scaling and resilience you should deploy the platform into Kubernetes as explained here.
To connect your physical Assets install one ore more Azure IoT Edge Gateways.
Alternative options to deploy the platform services include:
- Deploying Azure Industrial IoT Platform to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) as production solution.
- Deploying Azure Industrial IoT Platform microservices into an existing Kubernetes cluster using Helm.
- Deploying Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster on top of Azure Industrial IoT Platform created by deployment script and adding Azure Industrial IoT components into the cluster.
- For development and testing purposes, you can also deploy only the Microservices dependencies in Azure and run Microservices locally.
