Connecting and adding Arduino MKR NBIoT 1500 board to the cloud server

Question

I tried connecting the Arduino MKR NBIoT 1500 board to the Azure IoT Hub but wasn't successful. The board was able to connect to the cellular network and I tried to connect to Azure IoT Hub using MQTT but getting an error “-2”. I have also tried Google IoT and AWS IoT core and I'm still having the same error. I would appreciate if anyone could give me a feedback on what to do to be able to solve the problem. Thank you

  Azure IoT Hub NB

  This sketch securely connects to an Azure IoT Hub using MQTT over NB IoT/LTE Cat M1.
  It uses a private key stored in the ATECC508A and a self signed public
  certificate for SSL/TLS authetication.

  It publishes a message every 5 seconds to "devices/{deviceId}/messages/events/" topic
  and subscribes to messages on the "devices/{deviceId}/messages/devicebound/#"
  topic.

  The circuit:
  - MKR NB 1500 board
  - Antenna
  - SIM card with a data plan
  - LiPo battery

  The following tutorial on Arduino Project Hub can be used
  to setup your Azure account and the MKR board:

  This example code is in the public domain.
