I used Azure IoT Hub earlier and now I found a new topic Azure IoT Central
which looks as same as the Azure IoT Hub
.
I am confused with the difference between these IoT Services, Can anyone explain me the difference and which one is better between Azure IoT Central
and Azure IoT Hub
?
Thanks in advance
Azure IoT Central is an IoT application platform (aPaaS) that simplifies the creation of IoT solutions.

The IoT Edge agent deploys and monitors the modules, while the IoT Edge hub is responsible for communication. Both the IoT Edge agent and the IoT Edge hub are modules, just like any other module running on an IoT Edge device. They're sometimes referred to as the runtime modules.
IoT Hub is an Azure cloud service and Azure Sphere is a device technology. For more context, please have a look at the below information. IoT Hub is a managed service, hosted in the cloud, that acts as a central message hub for bi-directional communication between your IoT application and the devices it manages.
Azure IoT Central is a fully managed IoT Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that uses a model-based approach to build enterprise-grade IoT solutions without requiring expertise in cloud-solution development.
