IoT Edge config is a command-line tool that helps to configure hierarchies of Azure IoT Edge devices. It simplifies the configuration of the hierarchy by automating and condensing several steps into two:
-
Setting up the cloud configuration and preparing each device configuration, which includes:
- Creating devices in your IoT Hub
- Setting the parent-child relationships to authorize communication between devices
- Generating a chain of certificates for each device to establish secure communication between them
- Generating configuration files for each device
-
Installing each device configuration, which includes:
- Installing certificates on each device
- Applying the configuration files for each device

main: 
Make sure you are logged in (az login) to the latest version of aziot-cli (2.20.0 or above) and have openssl in your path (or use the --openssl-path flag). Use az account set -s {{subscription_name}} to set your subscription and make sure the IoT Hub you want to use is already created.
Run visualize to verify your config
cargo build && sudo target/debug/iotedge_config --visualize
Run using the default config
cargo build && sudo target/debug/iotedge_config
cargo build && sudo target/debug/iotedge_config -h
iotedge_config 0.1.0
USAGE:
iotedge_config [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
FLAGS:
--clean Clean: deletes working directory at start
-d, --delete Delete: deletes devices in hub instead of creating them
-f, --force Force: tries to delete devices in hub before creating new ones
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
-v, --verbose Verbose: gives more detailed output
--visualize Visualize: only outputs visualization file, does no other work
OPTIONS:
-c, --config <config> Config: path to config file [default: ./iotedge_config.yaml]
--openssl-path <openssl-path> Openssl Path: Path to openssl executable. Only needed if `openssl` is not in
PATH
-o, --output <output> Output: path to create directory at [default: ./iotedge_config]
--zip-options <zip-options> Zip Options: what should be zipped: all, devices, or none [default: devices]If you would like to build or change the IoT Edge source code, please follow the devguide.
