Can Device Management configurations be set up in the Azure portal?

Device Management configurations can indeed be set up in the Azure portal, making it straightforward for users to manage their IoT devices. The Azure portal provides a graphical interface that allows for the creation, configuration, and management of IoT devices, including settings for device provisioning, security, monitoring, and updating configurations.

Setting up Device Management configurations in the Azure portal enables users to leverage the comprehensive features available, such as monitoring device health, managing device identities, and assigning configurations at scale. The Azure portal simplifies the process, making it accessible even to those who may not have deep technical skills or familiarity with command-line interfaces or software development kits.

While it is possible to manage device configurations using CLI and SDKs for automation and custom application development, stating that they are the only means to do so overlooks the functionality provided by the Azure portal. Therefore, the answer indicating that Device Management configurations cannot be set up in the Azure portal does not align with how Azure IoT offerings are designed.
