Azure Digital Twins is Microsoft's service for creating live digital models of connected physical environments.
Azure Digital Twins is a Microsoft Azure service for building live digital models of physical environments such as buildings, factories, farms, energy networks, and transportation systems. Environments are described with the open Digital Twins Definition Language, and a live execution environment maintains a twin graph that historizes changes over time and answers queries through its APIs.
The service connects inputs from IoT devices through Azure IoT Hub and from business systems through Logic Apps and REST APIs, forming a single integration layer across a modeled environment. Twin change events flow to downstream analytics services including Azure Data Explorer, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Event Hubs, and the platform builds on Azure's security, compliance, and identity capabilities such as role-based access control and Microsoft Entra ID.
