I am very new to Azure.
We already use Azure for SQL Server and geomapping.
I know I can use IOTHub but management has told me we can't use it for this project. Our solution needs to use an MQTT broker.
Is there a way to use an MQTT broker either hosted in Azure or otherwise leveraging Azure connectivity?
Would I do better not using Azure at all?
If so, your suggestion as to a broker?
Thank you.

We have a solution that includes the use of MQTT messaging. Is there a way to use Azure for an MQTT broker?

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.
