In this section, you use Azure CLI to create an IoT hub and a resource group. An Azure resource group is a logical container into which Azure resources are deployed and managed. An IoT hub acts as a central message hub for bi-directional communication between your IoT application and the devices.

If you already have an IoT hub in your Azure subscription, you can skip this section.

To create an IoT hub and a resource group:

  1. Launch your CLI app. To run the CLI commands in the rest of this article, copy the command syntax, paste it into your CLI app, edit variable values, and press Enter.

    • If you're using Cloud Shell, select the Try It button on the CLI commands to launch Cloud Shell in a split browser window. Or you can open the Cloud Shell in a separate browser tab.
    • If you're using Azure CLI locally, start your CLI console app and sign in to Azure CLI.

  2. Run az extension add to install or upgrade the azure-iot extension to the current version.

    az extension add --upgrade --name azure-iot

  3. In your CLI app, run the az group create command to create a resource group. The following command creates a resource group named MyResourceGroup in the eastus location.

    [!NOTE] Optionally, you can set a different location. To see available locations, run az account list-locations. This quickstart uses eastus as shown in the example command.

    az group create --name MyResourceGroup --location eastus

  4. Run the az iot hub create command to create an IoT hub. It might take a few minutes to create an IoT hub.

    YourIotHubName. Replace this placeholder and the surrounding braces in the following command, using the name you chose for your IoT hub. An IoT hub name must be globally unique in Azure. Use your IoT hub name in the rest of this quickstart wherever you see the placeholder.

    az iot hub create --resource-group MyResourceGroup --name {your_iot_hub_name}
