 #### Device-to-cloud messages
 
-An IoT Edge module can send messages to the cloud via the IoT Edge hub that acts as a local broker and propagates messages to the cloud. To enable complex processing of device-to-cloud messages, an IoT Edge module can intercept and process messages sent by other modules or devices to its local IoT Edge hub. The IoT Edge module will then send new messages with processed data. Chains of IoT Edge modules can thus be created to build local processing pipelines.

 To send device-to-cloud telemetry messages using routes:
 
-* Use the Module Client class of the [Azure IoT SDK](https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdks). Each module has *input* and *output* endpoints. 
-* Use a send message method from your Module Client class to send messages on the output endpoint of your module. 
-* Set up a route in the edgeHub module of your device to send this output endpoint to IoT Hub.

 To process messages using routes:

-* Listen for messages on the input endpoint of your module. Each time a new message comes back, a callback function is triggered by the Azure IoT SDK.

 We no longer support Windows containers. [IoT Edge for Linux on Windows](iot-edge-for-linux-on-windows.md) is the recommended way to run IoT Edge on Windows devices.
 
 ## Module security
 
-You should develop your modules with security in mind. To learn more about securing your modules, see [Docker security](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/).
+You should develop your modules with security in mind. To learn more about securing your modules, see [Docker Engine security](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/).
 
 To help improve module security, IoT Edge disables some container features by default. You can override the defaults to provide privileged capabilities to your modules if necessary.
 
 ### Allow elevated Docker permissions
 
-In the config file on an IoT Edge device, there's a parameter called `allow_elevated_docker_permissions`. When set to **true**, this flag allows the `--privileged` flag and any additional capabilities that you define in the `CapAdd` field of the Docker HostConfig in the [container create options](how-to-use-create-options.md).

 > [!NOTE]
 > Currently, this flag is true by default, which allows deployments to grant privileged permissions to modules. We recommend that you set this flag to false to improve device security.
