# IoTHub Management

For general information on resource management, see Resource Management.

## Create the management client

The following code creates an instance of the management client.

You will need to provide your `subscription_id` which can be retrieved from your subscription list.

See Resource Management Authentication for details on handling Azure Active Directory authentication with the Python SDK, and creating a `Credentials` instance.

    from azure.mgmt.iothub import IotHubClient
    from azure.common.credentials import UserPassCredentials

    # Replace this with your subscription id
    subscription_id = '33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333'

    # See above for details on creating different types of AAD credentials
    credentials = UserPassCredentials(
        'user@domain.com',  # Your user
        'my_password',      # Your password
    )

    iothub_client = IotHubClient(
        credentials,
        subscription_id
    )

## Create an IoTHub

    async_iot_hub = iothub_client.iot_hub_resource.create_or_update(
            'MyResourceGroup',
            'MyIoTHubAccount',
            {
                    'location': 'westus',
                    'subscriptionid': subscription_id,
                    'resourcegroup': 'MyResourceGroup',
                    'sku': {
                      'name': 'S1',
                      'capacity': 2
                    },
                    'properties': {
                      'enable_file_upload_notifications': False,
                      'operations_monitoring_properties': {
                            'events': {
                              "C2DCommands": "Error",
                              "DeviceTelemetry": "Error",
                              "DeviceIdentityOperations": "Error",
                              "Connections": "Information"
                            }
                      },
                      "features": "None",
                    }
            }
    )
    iothub = async_iot_hub.result() # Blocking wait for creation
