From connected cars to intelligent transportation systems, the Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the hottest technology trends today that is dramatically shaping the future of tomorrow. IoT is estimated to grow to more than 30 billion devices and a multi-trillion-dollar industry by 2020, driving rapid innovation in manufacturing, medicine, oil and gas exploration, agriculture, construction, and shipping logistics (just to name a few). Microsoft firmly believes in the massive potential of IoT and in 2018 made a commitment to invest USD 5 billion in IoT over the next 4 years. Recently at Microsoft Build, we announced "IoT Plug and Play", an industry open standard for seamlessly connecting IoT devices to the cloud (https://mybuild.techcommunity.microsoft.com/sessions/77052?source=sessions#top-anchor – skip to 33:45).
