“

- [Narrator] The IoT Edge Runtime is a collection of programs that transforms a traditional device into an IoT edge device. The components within the IoT Edge Runtime enables the devices to receive code to run at the edge. It is also responsible for installing and updating workloads on the device, such as the modules itself. Maintaining the Azure IoT Edge security standards on the device, reporting module health to the cloud for remote monitoring, managing communication between downstream devices and IoT Edge devices, as well as managing communication between modules, for instance, communication between the IoT Edge devices and the cloud. The IoT Edge Agent and the IoT Edge Hub perform two important roles by two components that are part of the IoT Edge Runtime, communication and module management. The IoT Edge Agent deploys and monitors the modules. It's responsible for instantiating modules, ensuring they continue…
