• For IoTHub commands - improves json handling for arguments that require json.
  • For overloaded arguments which can be a file path or raw json, if an input file path does not exist but looks like a file (ends in a common file prefix) then the CLI will provide a warning indicating so.
  • Clearer error messages if json parsing fails. The error describes the failed argument and the file (if applicable).
• Edge deployments support metric definitions at creation time via --metrics argument (like device configurations).
• Fixes issue with az iot hub invoke-device-method preventing primitive value payloads.
• The az iot device simulate command will send default values for content-type and content-encoding. These values can be overridden.
