40531: Microsoft Cloud Workshop: IoT and the Smart City Course Overview

The 40531: Microsoft Cloud Workshop: IoT and the Smart City course is designed to empower learners with the skills and knowledge to implement Internet of Things (IoT) solutions in the context of a smart city using IoT. The course comprises two modules, starting with a whiteboard design session where participants review a customer case study, design a proof of concept solution, and present their solution, encouraging critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving.

In the hands-on lab, learners delve into practical experience, setting up an IoT Remote Monitoring solution environment and working with various Azure services. They simulate devices, such as buses and traffic lights, deploy IoT Edge devices with custom modules, and utilize Azure Functions to process data, which is then visualized in the IoT Remote Monitoring interface and Azure Time Series Insights. This course equips participants with the tools to develop and manage a smart city infrastructure, leveraging the potential of IoT and cloud technologies to create efficient, sustainable urban environments.
