Key concepts

Device Update for IoT Hub is a managed service that enables you to deploy over-the-air updates for your IoT devices. The client library has one main component named DeviceUpdateClient. The component allows you to access all three main client services:

• UpdatesOperations: update management (import, enumerate, delete, etc.)
• ManagementOperations: deployment management (manage devices and deployments)
