# IoT Platform: managed device connectivity and management hub. "What is IoT Platform - features,
# benefits, and billing" states that the platform supports multiple protocols (MQTT, CoAP, HTTPS) for
# device-to-cloud development, and gives the two instance types: a public instance, provided for trial
# use after activation, and an Enterprise Edition instance with subscription billing that provides
# device connectivity, management, O&M and data services for production workloads.
