-Once you create Azure IoT Edge modules with your business logic, you want to deploy them to your devices to operate at the edge. If you have multiple modules that work together to collect and process data, you can deploy them all at once. You can also declare the routing rules that connect them.

-[Azure CLI](/cli/azure) is an open-source cross platform, command-line tool for managing Azure resources such as IoT Edge. It enables you to manage Azure IoT Hub resources, device provisioning service instances, and linked-hubs out of the box. The new IoT extension enriches Azure CLI with features such as device management and full IoT Edge capability.

 ## Prerequisites
 
-* An [IoT hub](../iot-hub/iot-hub-create-using-cli.md) in your Azure subscription.
+* An [IoT Hub](../iot-hub/iot-hub-create-using-cli.md) in your Azure subscription.
 * An IoT Edge device
 
-  If you don't have an IoT Edge device set up, you can create one in an Azure virtual machine. Follow the steps in one of the quickstart articles to [Create a virtual Linux device](quickstart-linux.md) or [Create a virtual Windows device](quickstart.md).

-* [Azure CLI](/cli/azure/install-azure-cli) in your environment. At a minimum, your Azure CLI version must be 2.0.70 or higher. Use `az --version` to validate. This version supports az extension commands and introduces the Knack command framework.

 ## Configure a deployment manifest
 
-A deployment manifest is a JSON document that describes which modules to deploy, how data flows between the modules, and desired properties of the module twins. For more information about how deployment manifests work and how to create them, see [Understand how IoT Edge modules can be used, configured, and reused](module-composition.md).

-To deploy modules using the Azure CLI, save the deployment manifest locally as a .json file. You use the file path in the next section when you run the command to apply the configuration to your device.
