Hi Omar, I already responded to your question on StackOverflow:

The enrollment groups that IoT Central uses are created automatically for you. You don't need to use the Azure portal - you can access IoT Central's enrollment groups from within the Azure Central UI - for example, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-central/core/tutorial-connect-device?pivots=programming-language-python#get-connection-information

What advantages exist for using IoT Hub over IoT Central? We're interested in potentially linking to other Azure Service such as PowerBI & Data Queues. Would hub facilitate such links to other Azure services? We'd like to preserve the ability to update devices with deployment manifest JSONs that IoT Central offers.

You can link to other Azure services and PowerBI from IoT Central by using the data export feature.
For a discussion of the differences in the approach taken by IoT Hub and IoT Central, start here: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/iot-fundamentals/iot-solution-apaas-paas

Hello @Omar-7550 Thanks for the great question on the underlying feature of Azure IoTCentral.

Option to link IoT Central with Enrollment group is not available at Portal. Is it possible to link an Enrollment Group to IoT Central?

This is something already implemented as part of Azure IoT Central (aPaaS)

We're interested in potentially linking to other Azure Service such as PowerBI & Data Queues. Would hub facilitate such links to other Azure services? We'd like to preserve the ability to update devices with deployment manifest JSONs that IoT Central offers.
