What type of information is NOT typically included in a device template?

A device template is a blueprint used in IoT systems, specifically within the Azure IoT ecosystem, that defines the capabilities and behaviors of a specific type of device. This includes properties like telemetry types, which are the data points that the device can report back to the IoT hub. It typically also includes a specification of the commands that can be sent to that device, outlining how the device can be controlled remotely.

User account information, on the other hand, is not included in a device template. Device templates focus on the physical characteristics and functionalities of the devices themselves, rather than on user-specific details such as account credentials or personal data. This separation is important to maintain security and privacy, ensuring that device templates can be shared or replicated across devices without exposing sensitive user information.

Understanding the structure of device templates allows IoT developers to efficiently manage and scale their device fleets while maintaining proper data governance and security practices.
