This project can be realized within 30 minutes with netPI. netPI uses Docker to post-install containerized applications. One application is Node-RED. Maybe you have heard about it already. Here is a link to its homepage https://nodered.org/. Node-RED is an application to wire/hack in IoT applications in a very intuitive way via socalled nodes. Pre-programmed nodes exist for Azure, IBM, Google etc. to send data to such cloud platforms. Additionally Hilscher offers a PROFINET node that grabs IO data from the PROFINET network across the netPI Industrial Ethernet interface.
If you wire now the two nodes together you get a soluton wtihin some minutes. Precondition is of course that you have to have an Azure account with an Azure IoT Hub service booked. Then the data from the PROFINET node is transmitted to the Azure node ... and from there with your Azure keys/credentials ... to the Azure Cloud.
Here is a video I made how to do the similar thing with IBM cloud https://youtu.be/1vbrRGotONY. Just replace the shown IBM node with the corresponding Azure node while watching the video in your mind ... then you have your solution.
