## Introduksjon

Azure IoT Hub er Microsofts sentrale PaaS-tjeneste for toveiskommunikasjon mellom IoT-enheter og skyen. Kombinert med Azure Stream Analytics for sanntidsanalyse og Azure Machine Learning for modelltrening og -scoring, danner IoT Hub kjernen i en enhetlig AI-pipeline fra enhet til innsikt.

For norsk offentlig sektor er denne arkitekturen relevant for scenarioer som smart veginfrastruktur (sanntidsmaling av trafikk og veiforhold), bygg-automatisering (energistyring i offentlige bygninger), miljooverkaking (luft- og vannkvalitet), og prediktiv vedlikehold av kritisk infrastruktur. IoT Hub gir sikker enhetstilkobling, mens Stream Analytics prosesserer data i sanntid, og Azure ML scorer modeller for prediktive innsikter.

Arkitekturen skalerer fra hundrevis til millioner av enheter, med innebygd stoette for meldingsruting, device twins for konfigurasjonstyring, og enkel integrasjon med Azure-dataplatformen (Fabric, Event Hub, Cosmos DB) for langsiktig analyse.

import json
import joblib
import numpy as np

def init():
    global model
    model = joblib.load("model/anomaly_model.pkl")

def run(raw_data):
    """Score IoT-sensordata mot prediktiv modell"""
    data = json.loads(raw_data)

    features = np.array([[

        data["std_vibration"],
        data["peak_vibration"],
        data["sample_count"]
    ]])

    prediction = model.predict(features)[0]
    probability = model.predict_proba(features)[0]

    return json.dumps({
        "device_id": data["device_id"],

            else "NORMAL_OPERATION"
        ),
        "scored_at": data.get("window_end")
    })

## Scaling Hybrid Ingestion

### Skaleringsarkitektur

| Skala | Enheter | IoT Hub SKU | Stream Analytics SU | Anbefaling |
|-------|---------|-------------|--------------------|----|
| Liten | < 1 000 | S1 (1 enhet) | 6 SU | Standard oppsett |
| Medium | 1 000 - 100 000 | S2 (2 enheter) | 12-24 SU | Partisjonering |
| Stor | 100 000 - 1M | S3 (10 enheter) | 48+ SU | Event Hub routing |
| Enterprise | > 1M | S3 + Event Hub | Dedikert klynge | Multi-hub-arkitektur |

### Hybrid skalering med edge-forbehandling

```python
# Hybrid skaleringsmonster: Edge reduserer skylast
class HybridScalingConfig:
    """Konfigurasjon for hybrid edge-sky skalering"""

    @staticmethod
    def calculate_cloud_load(
        total_devices: int,
        messages_per_device_per_hour: int,
        edge_aggregation_ratio: float = 0.1  # 10% av data sendes til sky
    ) -> dict:
        """Beregn skylast med edge-forbehandling"""

        raw_messages = total_devices * messages_per_device_per_hour
        cloud_messages = int(raw_messages * edge_aggregation_ratio)
        bandwidth_reduction = 1 - edge_aggregation_ratio

        # IoT Hub dimensjonering
        messages_per_day = cloud_messages * 24
        if messages_per_day < 400_000:
            iot_hub_sku = "S1 (1 enhet)"
        elif messages_per_day < 6_000_000:

        else:
            units = (messages_per_day // 6_000_000) + 1
            iot_hub_sku = f"S2 ({units} enheter)"

## For arkitekten

- **IoT Hub + Stream Analytics + Azure ML er den kanoniske AI-pipeline for IoT** — anbefal denne treledds-arkitekturen som standard for alle IoT-AI-scenarier i offentlig sektor
- **Edge-forbehandling reduserer skylast med 90%+** — la IoT Edge aggregere og filtrere data for sensordata sendes til sky, noe som dramatisk reduserer baade kostnader og bandbreddekrav
- **Stream Analytics innebygde anomalideteksjon er raskest a implementere** — bruk AnomalyDetection_SpikeAndDip-funksjonen for rask oppstart for du bygger egne ML-modeller
- **Azure ML Online Endpoints gir sanntids scoring fra Stream Analytics** — bruk CROSS APPLY med AzureMLEndpoint-funksjonen for a integrere avansert ML direkte i strom-prosessering
- **For norsk offentlig sektor: Dimensjoner IoT Hub-kapasitet basert pa cloud-meldinger etter edge-aggregering** — med 90% edge-reduksjon kan selv store sensornettverk klare seg med S1/S2-tieren
