1. It will ask you to login using a web browser with the link displayed in the Command Prompt:

1. The web link will validate the code generated in Command Prompt:

1. Once you successfully log in, it will show a message on the browser and you can go back to the Command Prompt for your work:

1. Now, select the account with which you want to work and create the IoT Hub:

azure account set “Visual Studio Enterprise”

1. Now, we need to create a resource group, which this IoT Hub will be a part of:

azure group create -n MyBookIoTHub -l westus

1. We use the following command to create a new IoT Hub using the Command Prompt:

azure iothub create -g MyBookIoTHub -n MyBookIoTHub -l westus -k s1 -u 1

In the preceding create IoT Hub command, the parameters are resource group, IoT Hub name, location, instance size, and unit.
