This page currently says IoT Hub is a prereq but I just got here from reading an IoT Central quick start page. Is it an alternative to IoT hub?

@panabaker I think you have read the last section and navigated to here, right?

Install and provision Azure IoT Edge for Linux on a Windows device

SatishBoddu-MSFT commented 3 years ago

Hello @panabaker Thanks for the feedback!.

We have added the below note to the target repo which clears the confusion. I hope this helps to resolve your query!

Please let us know if you need further help in this matter.

this isn't super clear. Rather, I would say "An alternative to creating an IoT Hub is to connect your device to the Azure IoT Central service. See this document for more information: Azure IoT Edge for Linux on Windows (EFLOW) with IoT Central"

Note, I would append "with IoT Central" to your link as it is the actual title of the linked page.

@panabaker I think we should submit the issue under the target document's repo, where we started actually. @rangv Do you have thoughts on this? Do you suggest we move this issue under the actual repo?
