Do we have any way to connect HoloLens 2 with Azure Kinect DK without a machine in between ?

Currently, we should ensure having a PC or laptop between them. Azure Kinect DK only support Windows 10(x64) and Linux Ubuntu(x64), we can't deploy your Azure Kinect DK to HoloLens2 which with Windows Holographic OS. For more detailed information about the system requirements needed to deploy your Azure Kinect DK Please check this documentation: Supported operating systems and architectures

Azure IoT Hub Package Update for Windows Service

I have a Windows based software written in C# as a BackgroundWorker class, communicating with Azure IoT Hub (bascially a remote control/management endpoint).
It runs as a Windows service.
I would like to leverage IoT Hub Device Update, for this Windows agent, using th Package Update method - and have it update the service with the released software.
I can see a tutorial for Ubuntu, but nothing for Windows and only mention of porting to other platforms - before i start going down a rabbit hole and implementing a Windows platform layer, looking for any examples/implementations for Windows specifically.
I'm a PM on the Device Update for IoT Hub team. In general, we intend Device Update for IoT Hub to be our first effort at bringing the kind of powerful update management capabilities that Windows already enjoys to the non-Windows (IoT) world. With a decade-plus of Microsoft investment in Windows update management already, our team's initial focus and investment for the DU offering, then, have been on Linux and RTOS variants for IoT specifically. For that reason, we don’t have a specific plan yet for Windows support in Device Update for IoT Hub.
However, the DU offering is flexible by design such that any devices connected to Azure IoT Hub can be updated by Device Update if the open-source DU Agent that we make available is ported to the OS running on those devices, and if the appropriate handler (installer) for the update type is also available on that device. That is something that could possibly unblock you if you were willing to do the porting work. We definitely hear feedback on the desirability of managing updates for both Windows and non-Windows IoT devices connected to Azure IoT Hub using a single stack and experience, and would be interested in hearing more details about your specific scenario.”

Regarding IoT EDGE server setup on desktop

I am pretty new regarding IoT EDGE server setups, I am looking for suggestions or any tutorials that can guide me to set up IoT-EDGE servers on my desktop
Azure IoT Edge extends IoT Hub. Analyze device data locally instead of in the cloud to send less data to the cloud, react to events quickly, and operate offline.
For more information on complete Azure IoT Edge quickstart tutorials, please visit the below mentioned Microsoft's portal.
Azure IoT Edge documentation.
Microsoft's learning paths which gives a step by step learning.
Introduction to Azure IoT Edge.
The below article lists the steps to install the Azure IoT Edge runtime on your Windows x64 (AMD/Intel) system using Windows containers.

Possible to remotely update Windows 10 IOT Core App without Azure or Windows Store?

I am in the process of finishing up a Windows 10 IOT Core app to be deployed on Raspberry Pi 3 devices for a single location beta test. The app is consumer facing and reads from a sensor so I am sure there are going to be at least 1 or 2 updates per week as we perfect the app. Everything I am reading says you can only achieve app updates from Windows Device Portal, Windows Store, or Azure.
Windows Device Portal works fine for local management/deployment right now but won't work remotely because the devices will eventually be installed all throughout the country behind different firewalls, etc. We don't want to have to keep up with customer firewall port forwarding.
Windows Store probably won't work because we don't want to have to wait for up to 48 hours for update approvals. Also not sure if Windows 10 IOT fully supports Windows Store yet.
I have not figured out how Azure IOT Hub manages app updates but I would really like to avoid having to use Azure if possible since we prefer to keep everything on our own servers and not pay cloud providers for stuff we can do on our own servers.
Has anyone figure out how to run a background service to download an app update and apply it?
I am just going to have to deal with Azure IOT Hub?
There is another option: Using OMA-DM.
Using OMA-DM: The app is updated using an OMA-DM compliant device
management channel such as Intune or System Center Configuration
Manager (SCCM)
The OMA-DM interface is supported in Windows 10 IoT Core and any
OMA-DM compliant management solution can be used to install and update
applications. Read the documentation for EnterpriseModernAppManagement
CSP for usage instructions.
NOTE: Some information of EnterpriseModernAppManagement CSP relates to prereleased product which may be substantially modified before it's commercially released.
You do need a type of (online/internet) service to connect to your IoT Core devices. Reference:
Microsoft Store: The app is published and updated from the Microsoft Store
Using Component Update Service: The app is published to Windows Update and updated like any other OEM package (driver package) Coming soon
Using Azure IoT Device Management: The app is published to Azure Storage and updated through the Azure DM channel New for Windows 10, version 1709
Using OMA-DM: The app is updated using an OMA-DM compliant device management channel such as Intune or System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM)
With Store, you'll be using the Microsoft Store service; Azure IoT Device Management will be using Azure IoT hub; OMA-DM can use Intune/SCCM or your own infrastructure (OMA-DM Server)

Windows Azure using Eucalyptus

I'm using Eucalyptus and I want know if is there some way to use Windows Azure using Eucalyptus.
Thx all
To 'use Windows Azure using Eucalyptus' is a bit ambiguous, so I will answer a couple of questions:
Can I run Eucalyptus on VMs inside Windows Azure? Not easily. Eucalyptus requires multicast support, which is not available in Windows Azure or in AWS.
Does Eucalyptus support the Windows Azure API such that I can point an Azure client at Eucalyptus and have it work? No, Eucalyptus does not support the Windows Azure API at this point. That isn't to say it will never support that API, but it currently does not.
I'm a developer on Eucalyptus, btw.

Epicor in Windows Azure

I was wondering how can I use Epicor 10 in Windows Azure.
I want to install the app server on Windows Azure, all the Epicor 10 components, when it's all done and ready, I would like to use normal PC's to conenct to the app server[Windows Azure], download Epicor Client and use it on the client PC's.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks a lot for your time.
This seems like a reasonable setup to me. Epicor 10 hosted on an azure vm should work similarly to an install on a conventional server. Here is some microsoft documentation on creating azure vms: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/services/virtual-machines/
For a standard install, you should follow the microsoft tutorial as necessary along with the specifications set in the Epicor 10 hardware sizing guide (apply this to your vm creation) and Epicor 10 server implementation guide available on Epicweb.
You're probably aware of this if you're already in process for implementing E10 on Azure, but for preliminary concepts of Epicor on Windows Azure and explanation of Epicor working on azure, there's a presentation which is useful for slides 17-20ish and 37: https://epicweb.epicor.com/resources/MRCCustomers/Embracing%20the%20Cloud%20-%20Leveraging%20the%20Microsoft%20Azure%20Platform%20to%20Evolve%20your%20Business.pptx
You'll have to login to your epicweb account.
