-The Azure Iot library for Arduino is under review and will be re-released soon. 
-
-In the meantime, for Arduino scenarios we recommend using the Embedded C SDK in one of the following Samples:
-
-- [ESP8266 Arduino Sample](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-c/tree/main/sdk/samples/iot/aziot_esp8266)
-- [ESP32 Arduino Sample](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-c/tree/main/sdk/samples/iot/aziot_esp32)
-- [Realtek Ameba Sample](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-c/tree/main/sdk/samples/iot/aziot_realtek_amebaD)
