Workshop on IoT Edge

This repository contains content for hands-on on IoT Edge. Whether you use this to learn at your own pace, to deliver a guided workshop or a hackathon, it is up to you. The following topics are included:

  • Initializing a Raspberry Pi to act as IoT Edge Gateway
  • Create an IoT Edge solution using Visual Studio Code
  • Deploying code to an ARM-based IoT Edge Gateway with a Continuous Integration pipeline
  • Using VSTS and a VSTS build agents to build ARM-based Linux containers

If you want to try yourself, these are the overall steps you should follow. Next to each step you have a "hints" document, with detailed descriptions about how to execute it.

Option 1. ARM-based IoT Edge Gateway

For this option you need ARM-based hardware that represents your IoT Edge Gateway

  1. Install Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi, as well as the IoT Edge bits. Hints
  2. Create an IoT hub in Azure, and connect the Raspberry Pi to your IoT Hub as IoT Edge Device. Hints
  3. Create an Azure Container Registry. Create a service principal with read-only access to your ACR. Hints
  4. Install the Azure IoT Edge extensions on VS Code, and create an IoT Edge Solution. Commit your code to a Github repository. Hints
  5. Create a Linux VM that we will use as VSTS Build Agent. Install the Azure SDK (CLI 2.0), the IoT extensions and QEMU (to build ARM-based containers). Hints
  6. Create a CI pipeline in VSTS that will orchestrate the building/pushing of a container and the deployment to the IoT Edge device over IoT hub. Hints

Option 2. x86-based IoT Edge Gateway

You can run these exercises without having to purchase ARM hardware. You can use this Quickstart guide or refer to these more generic documents:

  1. Create a VM in Azure with Linux/Windows, install the IoT Edge bits. Hints
  2. Create an IoT hub in Azure, and connect the IoT Edge software on your VM to your IoT Hub as IoT Edge Device. Hints
  3. Create an Azure Container Registry. Create a service principal with read-only access to your ACR. Hints
  4. Install the Azure IoT Edge extensions on VS Code, and create an IoT Edge Solution. Commit your code to a Github repository. Hints
  5. Create a CI pipeline in VSTS that will orchestrate the building/pushing of a container and the deployment to the IoT Edge device over IoT hub. Hints
