What is a valid destination for a continuous data export from IoT Central?

Azure IoT Central supports continuous data export to various services for further processing and analysis, and Azure Blob Storage is a valid destination for this purpose. Utilizing Azure Blob Storage allows for cost-effective and scalable storage solutions that can handle large volumes of data generated by IoT devices.

When data is continuously exported to Azure Blob Storage, it can be easily accessed and manipulated for different analytics or machine learning applications. This integration facilitates the use of various tools and services in Azure for data analysis, such as Azure Data Lake Analytics or Azure Databricks.

While other options like Azure File Storage, Azure SQL Database, and Azure Virtual Machines are valuable in other contexts, they are not the primary destinations that are typically used for continuous data export from IoT Central. Azure File Storage is primarily for file sharing, Azure SQL Database is structured for relational data which may not be suitable for continuous large-scale IoT data ingestion, and Azure Virtual Machines are not designed specifically for data storage but rather for hosting applications or services. Therefore, Azure Blob Storage stands out as the optimal choice for continuous data export from IoT Central.
