AWS Internet of Things

AWS Internet of Things (IOT) lets you easily and securely connect devices to the cloud. Reliably scale to billions of devices and trillions of messages.

What is The Internet of Things?

The Internet of things (IoT) is the inter-networking of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items—These are embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data with each other.

Things,” in the IoT sense, can refer to a wide variety of devices such as Sensors in an F1 car, or field operation devices that assist fire fighters in search and rescue operations.

What is AWS Internet of Things?

AWS IoT is a managed cloud platform that lets connected devices easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices.

AWS IoT can support billions of devices and trillions of messages, and can process and route those messages to AWS endpoints and to other devices reliably and securely.

AWS IOT is typically used by organisations that have a lot of devices that could potentially generate data that could be useful to those businesses. For example factories that have lots of capital-intensive equipment that tends to require a lot of servicing.

Here is a list of the services AWS has to offer that are available now:

AWS Greengrass

AWS Greengrass is software that lets you run local compute, messaging & data caching for connected devices in a secure way. With AWS Greengrass, connected devices can run AWS Lambda functions, keep device data in sync, and communicate with other devices securely – even when not connected to the Internet.

AWS IoT Platform

AWS IoT is a managed cloud platform that lets connected devices easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices. AWS IoT can support billions of devices and trillions of messages, and can process and route those messages to AWS endpoints and to other devices reliably and securely.

AWS IoT Button

The AWS IoT Button is a programmable button based on the Amazon Dash Button hardware. This simple Wi-Fi device is easy to configure and designed for developers to get started with AWS IoT, AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon SNS, and many other Amazon Web Services without writing device-specific code.
