Another year, another AZ-220 Azure IoT Developer Specialty certification renewal

Did you know that Microsoft role-based and specialty certifications expire every year unless they’re renewed?

I got the question to renew my certification at no cost without having to schedule or pass a full exam and keep my skills current and my certification active for another year. (For details, read Renew your Microsoft Certification).

This is not the first time I get this email. Last year, I got the same question and had to take the exam regarding Azure Digital Twins.

Here is some background information about this year’s renewal (without any spoilers).

Azure Logic Apps are a convenient solution to add workflow logic, decision-making logic, and rules to your Azure solution.

Azure Logic Apps also supports Azure Data Explorer, the queryable time-series data solution:

As you can see, you can execute both commands (for altering resources inside Azure Data Explorer) and table queries.

It even supports promises support for rendering charts!

In this post, we check out how to make use of these actions and charts so we can monitor and even control our Azure Data Explorer.
