In order to upload a CSV file to an Azure IoT hub, you need to perform two key actions. First, by using the IoT Hub's File Upload feature, you must configure the IoT hub to associate with a storage container. This is achieved by selecting the IoT hub in the Azure subscription, navigating to the File Upload section, and configuring an Azure Storage container to handle the uploaded files. Second, you need to utilize the IoT Hub REST API to upload the file. The IoT device sends a POST request to the IoT hub to request a SAS URI for uploading the file, enabling the IoT hub to manage and process these uploads.
To determine the appropriate IoT hub tier, we need to calculate the total data being sent by all IoT devices per minute and compare it with the tier capacities. Each device sends a 6 KB message every five seconds, which translates to 12 messages per minute (since there are 60 seconds in a minute). Therefore, each device sends 6 KB * 12 messages = 72 KB per minute. With 2,500 devices, the total data per minute would be 72 KB * 2,500 = 180,000 KB per minute, which is equivalent to 180 MB per minute. Considering the edge device requirement and the message flow, the S3 tier is the only one that can handle this load, as it supports up to 814 MB per minute. Thus, the S3 tier is the correct and cost-effective choice to meet the requirements of supporting 2,500 IoT devices and minimizing costs.





The Azure IoT hub created with the command `az iot hub create --resource-group MyResourceGroup --name MyIotHub --sku B1 --location westus --partition-count 4` is created with the B1 SKU, which belongs to the Basic tier. The Basic tier of Azure IoT Hub does indeed support Azure IoT Edge. The other features mentioned, such as Device Provisioning Service, cloud-to-device messaging, and device twins, require the Standard tier. Therefore, Azure IoT Edge is the feature supported by the MyIotHub created with the specified command in the Basic tier.
