| Defender for IoT | Defender for IoT provide real-time monitoring, recommendations, and alerts | |
| Device-to-cloud partitions |
Device-to-cloud partitions is used to reduce contentions that occur when concurrently reading and writing to event streams. The partition limit is chosen when IoT Hub is created and cannot be changed. The maximum partition limit for basic tier IoT Hub and standard tier IoT Hub is 32. Most IoT hubs only need 4 partitions SEE Also: Detail of partition, please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/iot-hub-scaling |
