+Use Azure IoT Hub to build a **cloud-based IoT solution**. IoT Hub does not follow the adaptive cloud approach.
 
 Azure IoT Hub is a managed service hosted in the cloud that acts as a central message hub for communication between an IoT application and its attached devices. Several messaging patterns are supported, including device-to-cloud messages, uploading files from devices, and request-reply methods to control your devices from the cloud. IoT Hub can route messages from devices to other cloud services for storage, analysis, or processing. IoT Hub also supports monitoring to help you track device creation, device connections, and device failures.

+DPS is typically part of a **cloud-based IoT solution** based on IoT Hub or IoT Central.
 
 DPS is a helper service for IoT Hub that enables zero-touch, just-in-time provisioning of IoT devices to an IoT hub without requiring human intervention. Many of the manual steps traditionally involved in provisioning are automated with DPS to reduce the time to deploy IoT devices and lower the risk of manual error. DPS can provision devices that use X.509 certificates and trusted platform modules. IoT Central applications use an internal DPS instance to manage device connections.
