You have a Standard tier Azure IoT hub and a fleet of IoT devices.

The devices connect to the IoT hub by using either Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) or Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP).

You need to send data to the IoT devices and each device must respond. Each device will require three minutes to process the data and respond.

Solution: You use cloud-to-device messages and watch the cloud-to-device feedback endpoint for successful acknowledgement.

Does this meet the goal?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

The solution of using cloud-to-device messages and watching for feedback acknowledgments does not meet the goal because cloud-to-device messages are designed for one-way notifications from the cloud to the device. They don't provide the immediate confirmation of results that is required for the described scenario. The scenario needs a method where devices can respond back, and the use of direct methods would be more suitable since they allow for immediate communication and confirmation between the cloud and the device.

Cloud to Device messages are one-way only so answer should be No.
