Introduction Solutions architects, developers, and system designers building IoT solutions need ways to properly secure data and functions that operate on data across the entire solution landscape. In this post, we describe a few design options for scaling authorization policies focused on multi-user and multi-device use cases with AWS IoT Core. We cover several scenarios, […]

Across numerous types of implementations, a large portion of IoT applications collect large volumes of telemetry data. From industrial use cases to healthcare, and from consumer goods to logistics, IoT telemetry data points are highly time-dependent. In most IoT solutions, when the data is collected and reported matters for several reasons. For instance, in attribution […]

Solution providers operating environments such as smart building, utilities, manufacturing systems, and connected products offer business-to-business services often based on IoT platforms deployed in multitenant deployments. Securely managing those resources by use case, types, locations and by tenants can sometime be hard. Creating hierarchical grouping of things is a common pattern, but it does not […]

AWS IoT customers manage a large number of industrial assets which send sensor data to the cloud. The smooth operation of these assets is critical to the productivity of their plants, since any equipment breakdown can lead to unexpected downtime and require expensive recovery maintenance. The ability to predict such failures and respond to them […]

In this blog post, we will explain how you can use AWS IoT Core Rules Engine’s HTTP action to send data directly to your existing HTTPS endpoint without writing additional code or making changes to published code. With this feature, you can integrate AWS IoT with your own web services without additional latency and complexity […]

Co-authored by Aniruddh Chitre, AWS Solutions Architect This post demonstrates how AWS IoT Greengrass can be integrated with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to provide hardware-based endpoint device security. This integration ensures the private key used to establish device identity can be securely stored in tamper-proof hardware devices to prevent it from being taken out […]
