Azure IoT Operations, enabled by Azure Arc, is a set of scalable edge services, built on industry standards to easily capture device and equipment data, process and normalize data at the edge, and seamlessly send and receive operational insights to and from the cloud.  Through Azure Arc and Kubernetes, Azure IoT Operations empowers organizations with a unified technology architecture and data plane that supports repeatable solution deployment, automated updates to apps, cost-effective high availability, and redundancy at the edge.

Azure IoT Operations is suited for a variety of use cases in various industries such as predictive/prescriptive maintenance, factory automation, asset health, sustainable operations, modernizing store operations, edge vision AI, and real time analytics and monitoring.

Azure IoT Operations supports clusters that are Arc-enabled in many regions. See the documentation for the most current list of supported regions.

Azure Device Registry (ADR) is a unified registry projecting assets and devices as Azure resources. ADR creates a single source of truth for asset metadata across Azure, partner, and customer applications running in the cloud or on the edge. ADR streamlines and simplifies end-to-end IoT architectures built on top of widely adopted Azure constructs.
