Use the Azure CLI to create a resource group and then add an IoT hub.
-
When you create an IoT hub, you must create it in a resource group. Either use an existing resource group, or run the following command to create a resource group:
az group create --name {your resource group name} --location westus[!TIP] The previous example creates the resource group in the West US location. You can view a list of available locations by running this command:
az account list-locations -o table -
Run the following command to create an IoT hub in your resource group, using a globally unique name for your IoT hub:
az iot hub create --name {your iot hub name} \ --resource-group {your resource group name} --sku S1[!INCLUDE iot-hub-pii-note-naming-hub]
The previous command creates an IoT hub in the S1 pricing tier for which you are billed. For more information, see Azure IoT Hub pricing.
You can use Azure CLI to delete an individual resource, such as an IoT hub, or delete a resource group and all its resources, including any IoT hubs.
To delete an IoT hub, run the following command:
az iot hub delete --name {your iot hub name} -\
-resource-group {your resource group name}
To delete a resource group and all its resources, run the following command:
az group delete --name {your resource group name}
