How to securely connect an AWS IoT Greengrass v1 device to AWS IoT Core using AWS PrivateLink

Introduction Competitive environments generally result in bottom line pressure for manufacturers, driving leadership to explore additional innovations for revenue growth such as implementation of Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT) solutions. In this post, we discuss how to secure network traffic between a device running AWS IoT Greengrass on your Operational Technology (OT) network and your Internet […]

Simplify multi-account device provisioning and certificate authority registration when using AWS IoT Core

Customers often manage multiple AWS accounts to separate their development, staging, and production environments. When deploying IoT workloads on AWS IoT Core, customers usually use unique X.509 certificates for identifying devices and certificate authorities (CAs) for validating the signature of device certificates during provisioning. In this blog, we will demonstrate how to use the newly […]

Increase military readiness with AWS IoT for Defense and National Security

In this post we discuss how AWS IoT for Defense and National Security (IoT4D) increases readiness by driving operational excellence for manufacturing and supply chains, improving sustainability for buildings and bases, improving equipment maintenance and uptime, and providing situational awareness at the tactical edge. IoT workloads securely collect, aggregate, and store data from fleets of […]

Drive efficiencies in sustainable waste management using AWS IoT Core

According to the UK local government association, councils spend around £852 million per year on waste collection. Therefore, even a small savings of 5% is considerable, amounting to £42.6 million. Additionally, when it comes to food, globally, we waste almost 1 billion tonnes of food each year. According to WRAP charity, businesses and governments are […]

Automating workflows for AWS IoT Greengrass V2 components

Introduction AWS IoT Greengrass V2 Development Kit Command-Line Interface (GDK CLI) was announced at AWS re:Invent 2021. With GDK CLI you can easily create AWS IoT Greengrass V2 components, flexibly define recipes, and publish these components to AWS IoT Greengrass V2. However, every time there is a change to the AWS Greengrass V2 component recipe, […]

Configuring near real-time notification for asset based monitoring with AWS IoT Events

Introduction In today’s market, business success often lies in the ability to glean accurate insights and prediction. However, floor engineers and analysts have a hard time getting the information at the right instance to make an informed decision when there is a failure during operations. To make it easy to detect and respond to events […]
