Course Overview
The 40531: Microsoft Cloud Workshop: IoT and the Smart City by Microsoft is designed for cloud architects, IoT developers, and IT professionals responsible for designing and implementing smart city solutions. While no specific certification exam is directly tied to this workshop, it aligns closely with the skills measured in the retired AZ-220: Microsoft Azure IoT Developer exam, offering foundational knowledge relevant to IoT solution implementation. With over 60% of cities investing in IoT for infrastructure improvements, professionals skilled in Azure-based smart city systems are in high demand across urban planning, transportation, and public safety sectors. This course equips learners with the strategic and technical expertise needed to design scalable IoT architectures that enhance city services and operational efficiency.
Participants will gain hands-on experience with core Microsoft Azure services including Azure IoT Hub, Azure IoT Edge, Azure Functions, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Time Series Insights, and the IoT Remote Monitoring solution. In the lab environment accessed through the Azure Portal, students configure and deploy simulated IoT devices such as buses and traffic lights, implement custom IoT Edge modules, and set up data processing pipelines using Azure Functions. A key project involves building a smart city solution for New York City that integrates real-time bus telemetry, traffic light monitoring, and predictive maintenance alerts, enabling data-driven decision-making. Learners will also create endpoints in IoT Hub, route alerts to Service Bus and Cosmos DB, and visualize time-series data in a centralized dashboard.
This workshop prepares professionals for roles such as Azure IoT Developer and IoT Solution Architect, positions recognized through the Microsoft Certified: Azure IoT Developer Specialty. Certified professionals report average salaries ranging from $107,000 to $130,000 annually in the United States, reflecting strong market demand. At Koenig Solutions, participants benefit from official Microsoft courseware and Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, ensuring access to structured, hands-on learning.
