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.

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?

Store Private key for X.509 based DPS securely on HSM
Use the X.509-based enrollment in DPS in IoTEdge without storing the private key on file system.
The idea is to store the Private Key in a HSM and let it never leave.
At this moment, the x.509 provisioning mode only supports a private key on the file system...

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.15 votes -
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.

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!

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.

Add Feature to Check Upstream Connection Status (Expose to Modules)
Is there some connection state to IoT Hub from IoT Edge that can be made available to edge modules? We are trying to get the upstream connection status to IoT Hub from the edge module context (.NET).
We would like this status check to be available during first-time-configuration as well as outside of the first-time-configuration use case so that, if needed, we can leverage this for troubleshooting devices in the field.
6 votesWe will consider this for the next round of feature planning which will cover work done in the first half of 2021.

Support hierarchical module input structure
Currently the input channel is determined by a single name. But from my point of view it could be interesting to support a hierarchy of inputs in a module (e.g. something like /modules/{{mid}}/inputs/{{input}}/{{subchannel}} would be possible) - this would be interesting in scenarios where the module just registers a generic handler for messages and uses the information contained in the hierarchy of the input channel (e.g. for routing purposes) - for sure something similar could be achieved by just using/interpreting a different 'split char', but it would be nice if a simple '/' could be used. Also this wouldn't allow…

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.

Support for .NET Core 3.0 and .NET core 3.1
IoT edge supports .NET core 2.0 only. But latest vesions are 3.0 and 3.1. And moreover 2.0 isn't even LTS release.
Or does it support all versions greater than 2.0?5 votesAzure IoT Edge currently uses .NET Core 2.1 which is an LTS release. We plan on moving to 3.1 in the next release which is 1.0.10.

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.

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.

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…
2 votesAzure 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.

Messages delivered to IoT Edge device instead of Leaf device to IoT hub
I have setup Azure IoT Edge in Transparent Proxy pattern. Created a leaf device. When Messages from leaf devices are sent upstream
"leafdeviceToUpstream":"FROM /messages/* WHERE NOT IS_DEFINED($connectionModuleId) INTO $upstream"")"
Messages are correctly delivered to leaf device in IoT Hub.
Now I created a custom module. Messages from leaf device are piped to custom module and from custom module (after processing) are sent upstream.
Here, I was expecting that messages are delivered to leaf device. However, instead they are delivered to IoT Edge device. Looks like since the custom module creates new message, source of origin changes from leafdevice ID to…1 vote -
Azure Blob Storage on IoT Edge: cloudToDeviceDownload
We see lots of needs where customers use a connected Edge device as data gateway for leaf devices.
ABSonIoTEdge module allowed us to implement upload scenarios so far, is possible to get it working the other way around too?For example, I'd have the need to deliver regularly to thousands of leaf devices that cannot connect to the internet the same file (e.g. a few MB firmware) through a couple of Edge devices.
azcopy sync and a local file share works, but it would be so much better if we could have the IoT related data in the same place.…

Queue message without using the edge hub
Is it possible to put a message in the module message queue without using the edge hub.
The reason for this question is that I want to use a timer inside my module, when this timer elapsed a new message needs to be handled withing the context of the message queue. At the moment I can send an outpût message and route this message back to the sam emodule. but it would be handy if I could enqueue a message directly from the ModuleClient.1 voteThere is on plan to support that feature. The message queue is completely controlled by Edge Hub which is responsible for dequeuing messages, sending them to the modules, and deleting them once a module acks the message. This is how we guarantee features like store and forward and there’s no plan to move the message queue to the module.
The approach that you’re using is a valid approach and will result in the messages sent back to the module being checkpointed in the context of all of the other messages in the message queue.
