If you want to build IoT projects connected to an IoT cloud service. You could take a look at aka.ms/azure.iot for Microsoft Azure IoT projects and resources.

If you are already using Azure IoT services, you could use Azure IoT Toolkit extension for better development experience.

• Build PlatformIO project specified in Project Configuration File platformio.ini
• Upload firmware to devices specified in Project Configuration File platformio.ini
• Open Serial Monitor
• Set baud rate for Serial Monitor
• Search for library in PlatformIO Library Registry
• Install library from PlatformIO Library Registry
• Quick way to open PlatformIO Terminal
• Automatically or manually add Include Path to c_cpp_properties.json for C/C++ extension
