You have Azure IoT Edge devices that generate streaming data.
On the devices, you need to detect anomalies in the data by using Azure Machine Learning models. Once an anomaly is detected, the devices must add information about the anomaly to the Azure IoT Hub stream.
Solution: You expose a Machine Learning model as an Azure web service.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The solution does not meet the goal because simply exposing a Machine Learning model as an Azure web service does not enable the IoT Edge devices to actively detect anomalies in real-time or integrate the results back into the Azure IoT Hub stream. The devices need a mechanism to run the model locally and process data continuously, which is not accomplished by just exposing it as a service.
