Microsoft made a slew of IoT announcements at Build

Microsoft made a slew of announcements about its IoT business segment at its annual Build Developer Conference on Monday.

Microsoft announced it's open-sourcing Azure IoT Edge, its product suite that allows companies to run AI and Azure services without connecting to the cloud.

The company first unveiled IoT Edge at last year's Build Conference to help it keep pace in the rapidly growing edge computing market for IoT devices.

The latest update allows any customer to use the service, helps them modify it with little hassle, and makes it easier to detect and weed out software bugs.
