* Refactor code writing twin tags for better performance
* Refactor device properties code for better performance
* Refactor simulation runner for better performance
* Improve connections performance
* Reduce time to start simulation, by creating devices using the same conn string and fetching device from registry only if the authentication fails.
* Limit the number of pending threads attempting to deliver telemetry
* Change all stock device models to use AMQP
* Move SDK timeout setting and other hard coded magic numbers to config file
* Use default timeout value from SDK instead of hardcoding it
* Improve documentation in the configuration file
* Upgrade IoT SDK
* Improve logging in device client
* Reduce noise in the "Info" log level
* When building, remove "deleted files" left over from previous builds
* Improve error detection when creating devices with batch operations
* Recreate device client when the internal AMQP client is disposed (lib bug workaround)
* VS code config update
* Remove simulation version, not used anywhere
* Catch and log when a device model doesn't exist
* Log missing config settings
* Make sure the simulation object is not lost in case of errors while checking for simulation changes
* Limit async tests duration
* Remove IoT hub registry workaround
* Fix boolean conf values parsing
* Remove "en-us" from links in the comments
* Fix invalid parsing of environment variables
Remove Akka and use .NET Thread Pool to manage multiple threads sending telemetry. The lack of Akka means some extra work that we'll need in order to distribute the simulation over multiple servers. For the time being, we assume that the simulation runs in one instance only. If Akka's move to .NET Core is ready we can move back to Akka, otherwise we need some partitioning logic to distribute the load over multiple machines.
Upgrade the project to the latest template, e.g. scripts and documentations. Minor fixes for cross-platform development (VS2017 and Rider).
Complete the /status endpoint to check if IoT Hub Manager is available. In order to run the simulation, IoT Hub Manager is required. Without this check, it was too difficult to debug whether the service could connect to IoT Hub Manager or not, particularly when using Docker Compose.
Added Docker Compose file, to bootstrap this service and IoT Hub Manager containers. Add script to publish to Docker Hub. Move Docker image version/tag to a version file, so that the version is not hard coded in multiple places.
Fix an issue with the logger using too much memory when serializing exceptions.
Improve handling of exceptions caused by unreachable external dependencies when using the HTTP client.
