Design principles

7. Concept – Module
• A module image is a package containing the software that defines a module.
• A module instance is the specific unit of computation running the module image on an IoT Edge device.
The module instance is started by the IoT Edge runtime.
• A module identity is a piece of information (including security credentials) stored in IoT Hub, that is
associated to each module instance.
• A module twin is a JSON document stored in IoT Hub, that contains state information for a module
instance, including metadata, configurations, and conditions.
• SDKs to develop custom modules in multiple languages (C#, C, Python, Java, Node.JS)

8. • Installs and updates workloads on the device.
• Maintains Azure IoT Edge security standards on the device.
• Ensures that IoT Edge modules are always running.
• Reports module health to the cloud for remote monitoring.
• Facilitates communication between downstream leaf devices and the IoT Edge device.
• Facilitates communication between modules on the IoT Edge device.
• Facilitates communication between the IoT Edge device and the cloud
