Azure IoT Edge
Azure IoT Edge moves analytics and logic out of the cloud and onto your on-premises devices. Using a cloud interface, you can deploy either Azure service logic or your own code to devices without having to physically access them. And offline capabilities mean that you can extract business insights anywhere, without worrying about maintaining constant communication with a cloud service.
More details about the services are available in the documentation.

Code sample for identity translation pattern.
If the development team is busy, some guidance on how does the module(who understand native protocols and gives device identity) receive the connection string will be helpful. Hard coding connection strings is not is not an option.

IoT Hub device and module twins limit.
There is limit of 8KB limit for IoT Hub device twins. What’s the limit on module twins? How much total size allowed for both device twins and module twins? Is any plan to enhance the size of both twins in GA or later release?
32 votesThe limit for module twins and device twins is the same: 8KB per section. We do have plans to increase the size limits but can’t disclose a date yet.

Azure blob file upload
We are planning to upgrade an existing production application from V1 to V2. In addition to streaming data (as messages to Azure IotHub), we also upload hourly aggregated data to Azure blob store. Can you share approximate time-lines when V2 can have support for Azure blob upload?

BLE Sample
Will a BLE sample be available?
As I understand, it will require the module container to run in privileged mode to gain access to hardware devices... Is this supported?

Remote login to IoT Gateway
If an IoT Gateway is deployed in the industrial plant and if some application crashes in Gateway or some need of login to the gateway.
In that case, Azure IoT edge should allow users to remotely log in to the IoT gateway using ssh/telnet. This will very easy to monitor the status and debugging/maintenance.10 votes -
Example of C based module for Transparent gateway
Can you please add code sample for transparent gateway use case? We use the v1 modules implementation for communication with other
network protocol based on this example: https://github.com/Azure/iot-edge/blob/master/v1/samples/ble_gateway/iot-hub-iot-edge-physical-device.md. We would like to move the solution to v2. Modbus module is not very useful for our solution. Thank you.6 votesWe are planning on providing an example of this for the SensorTag which speaks BLE. That said, it probably won’t be available for a couple months so it’d be great if you created an example as well.
Please see the following comment where we discuss gateway scenarios a little more.

ARM Python SDK for Azure IoT Edge
Make the Python SDK for creating IoT Edge Modules also available for ARM cpu's and Windows.
The vast selection of python libraries, and ARM devices with python support, makes it an ideal choice for rapid development of Edge Modules.
4 votesThe Python SDK is going through a rewrite at the moment. Once that is complete it will be supported on both Linux and Windows. You can find a preview of the rewrite at – github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-python-preview

Enable Azure Media Services streaming an analytics through IoT Edge.
Live media streams requires usually a good bandwith. By running the Azure Media Services, through the IoT Edge, it should be possible to employ ML, and vision analytics on the edge before streaming to cloud.

Rust SDK Azure IoT Edge
Since Rust is becoming increasingly popular it would be amazing to use Rust for creating custom IoT Edge modules. Rust would be a good fit for IoT Edge modules which require high performance and safety!

Module needs the ability to detec if offline
In my PoC, I would have liked to route messages from a device WHERE ($hubIsUnavailable) directly to a module, and otherwise passed it directly upstream. The ability to have an edge module run business logic that sets flags to influence routing might be powerful. Instead I was able to implement the routing/forwarding in the module itself.

Common project strucuture for iot edge solutions
To integrate iot edge solutions into development tools, I found different possibilities.
- The Visual Studio Code solution: https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/azure/iot-edge/how-to-vs-code-develop-module
-The Visual Studio solution: https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/azure/iot-edge/how-to-visual-studio-develop-module
Both ways uses different project structures. They are not interchangeable. Not only for development tools. I run into problems, when I want to use a iot edge project in azure pipelines with offical azure Iot-Edge-Build-plugin. (https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs.de-de/issues/341#issuecomment-493401019)
I think it would be useful, if there is a common project structure for iot-edge solutions.1 vote -
Public List of Available IoT Edge Module
It would be helpful for there to be a link to all published IoT Edge Modules. This could be a link from the GH repo to the market place and ensuring that even the OSS modules are available in the market place.

Support Node.js and Python Edge modules on Windows
Currently Node.js and Python custom Edge modules are only supported in Linux containers and therefore are not supported on Windows IoT or IoT Core platforms/devices as Linux containers are not supported on Windows in production. Linux containers should be supported on Windows (IoT Enterprise and IoT Core) or Python and Node.js modules should compile & run in Windows containers.
1 voteSupporting Node.js and Python modules on Windows is planned.

Out of box IoT edge custom modules for Pinter server
One of my current customer and another customer from last fiscal year had a requirement to connect their local office printer as an edge device to the IoT Hub(cloud) and start sending their print jobs to their local printer. Is there way product team build a generic IoT edge module may be in collaboration with partners like HP and others and cater to the needs of such customers and solve their business problems? This could bring tons of ACR for MSFT.
I’m not a network expert but there may be ip address, port and firewall may need to be configured…
1 voteAzure IoT Edge is an open source project and we’d be happy to have a partner (.eg HP, Xerox, Brother) contribute a module that works with their printers. They could even add it to the module marketplace for easy discovery.
