Cloud Connectivity

Simulation of cloud connectivity

1. Container Management starts and subscribes to edge/thing/response
2. Cloud Connector starts and publishes the following message to edge/thing/response as soon as the connection is online:

{
    "deviceId":"<namespace>:<gatewayId>:<deviceId>",
    "tenantId":"<tenantId>"
}

• namespace is azure.edge for Kanto’s Azure Cloud Connector
• gatewayId indicates the hostname of the Azure IoT Hub
• deviceId is the identifier for the device, this can either be part of the Azure Connection String or part of the device authentication certificate (CN)
• tenantId is a configuration setting in the cloud connector

Note: You can simulate the cloud connector trigger by issueing the MQTT message manually on command line:

mosquitto_pub -t 'edge/thing/response' -m '{"deviceId":"dummy-namespace:dummy-gateway:dummy-device-id","tenantId":"dummy-tenant-id"}'
