Use a pre-built module to generate test data
The IoT Edge platform works with the cloud to deploy IoT Edge modules to IoT Edge devices.
What is a module?
IoT Edge modules are executable packages that run as containers.
IoT Edge modules let you deploy cloud workloads to run directly on IoT devices. IoT Edge modules are the smallest computational units managed by IoT Edge. IoT Edge modules let you analyze data on devices instead of in the cloud. Moving parts of your workload to the edge reduces the time devices spend sending messages to the cloud and helps them react more quickly to events.
What is a prebuilt module?
Prebuilt IoT Edge modules are accessed through the Microsoft Artifact Registry or third-party publisher container registries. The module simulates a sensor and sends generated data to the IoT Hub. Use the simulated data to develop and test your IoT solution.
