✅ Take a moment to do some research and read the overview of IoT hub in the [Microsoft IoT Hub documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/iot-hub/about-iot-hub?WT.mc_id=academic-17441-jabenn).
The cloud services available in Azure can be configured through a web-based portal, or via a command-line interface (CLI). For this task, you will use the CLI.
✅ Take a moment to do some research and read the overview of Azure Functions in the [Microsoft Azure Functions documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-functions/functions-overview?WT.mc_id=academic-17441-jabenn).
To write Azure Functions, you start with an Azure Functions app in the language of your choice. Out of the box Azure Functions supports Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, F#, Java, and Powershell. In this lesson you will learn how to write an Azure Functions app in Python.

Adding IoT devices can drastically improve your supply chain, allowing you to manage where items are, plan transport and goods handling better, and respond quicker to problems.
When managing a fleet of vehicles such as trucks, it is helpful to know where each vehicle is at a given time. Vehicles can be fitted with GPS sensors that send their location to IoT systems, allowing the owners to pinpoint their location, see the route they have taken, and know when they will arrive at their destination. Most vehicles operate outside of WiFi coverage, so they use cellular networks to send this kind of data. Sometimes the GPS sensor is built into more complex IoT devices such as electronic log books. These devices track how long a truck has been in transit to ensure drivers are in compliance with local laws on working hours.
This code gets the device ID from the event metadata, then uses it to create a blob name. Blobs can be stored in folders, and device ID will be used for the folder name, so each device will have all it's GPS events in one folder. The blob name is this folder, followed by a document name, separated with forward slashes, similar to Linux and macOS paths (similar to Windows as well, but Windows uses back slashes). The document name is a unique ID generated using the Python `uuid` module, with the file type of `json`.

For example, for the `gps-sensor` device ID, the blob name might be `gps-sensor/a9487ac2-b9cf-11eb-b5cd-1e00621e3648.json`.
In the last lesson you learned how to get GPS data from your sensors to save to the cloud in a storage container using serverless code. Now you will discover how to visualize those points on an Azure map.
