I need to deploy an Azure IoT Hub with an IoT Edge device by using ARM Templates. Unfortunately, I cannot find any property for the Edge device object in the official documentation. Should I assume that this feature isn't supported yet?

UPDATE: I finally managed to create the IoT Edge Device by using Azure CLI with IoT Extension az iot hub device-identity create --hub-name hubName --device-id newEdgeDevice --edge-enabled

Do not know if it is supported but what you could do is attach a device by hand and have a look in https://resources.azure.com. If is shows up there it should be possible.

If you need any assistance please let me know.

    I have never used Resource Explorer before, it's a nice tool thank you. Should I check the ARM template generated by the tool? From what I have seen, it seems to be same I saw in the Azure Portal, which doesn't contain any device. – user2297037 Mar 13 '18 at 09:37
  • Hi, if it does not contain the devices I think the option isn't supported yet. – Maik van der Gaag Mar 13 '18 at 16:54
  • Thank you for your help. Do you know any other way to create the device automatically? I couldn't do it neither using Azure CLI nor Powershell. – user2297037 Mar 14 '18 at 10:13

    I finally managed to create the IoT Edge Device by using Azure CLI with [IoT Extension](https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-cli-extension) `az iot hub device-identity create --hub-name hubName --device-id newEdgeDevice --edge-enabled` – user2297037 Mar 14 '18 at 10:51
  • @user2297037 I'd recommend you turn your last comment into an answer. – Damon Barry Mar 14 '18 at 17:17

Azure CLI command is as discussed before

az iot hub device-identity create --hub-name hubName --device-id newEdgeDevice --edge-enabled
