The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog

In this blog post, I will show you how you can use AWS CloudFormation to set up AWS IoT Greengrass quickly and in a repeatable manner. I will discuss the AWS IoT Greengrass resource types and how they are related to a Greengrass group deployment. I will also demonstrate a deployment that uses an AWS […]

An IoT solution requires managing a large number of devices, usually hundreds of thousands or millions. When you start to work at a large scale, you need to keep your fleet protected by continuously checking if it is following security best practices. It can be challenging for organizations to audit all devices and automatically remediate […]

In this blog post, we’ll show you how to use new capabilities of AWS IoT Device Management fleet indexing. Starting now, you can use aggregation queries in conjunction with AWS Lambda and Amazon CloudWatch to automate fleet monitoring. When managing Internet of Things (IoT) devices, it can be challenging to monitor the state of the […]

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) presents an unparalleled opportunity for every industry to address core business challenges, such as reducing downtime, improving safety, increasing system output, reducing operating costs, and creating innovative services and business models. In this blog post, I will show how you can use AWS IoT services to build an asset […]

Realize business outcomes with the IoT Device Simulator, AWS IoT Analytics, Amazon QuickSight, Microsoft Power BI, and Tableau Customers often get wrapped up in slower hardware development cycles before they have real, potential business outcomes identified and agreed upon for their business. This post highlights how customers should consider using simulated devices to explore business […]

AWS IoT Device Defender supports your efforts to secure your IoT device fleet. AWS IoT Device Defender Detect establishes a baseline behavior for IoT devices and then identifies devices that do not conform as anomalous. AWS IoT Device Defender Detect operates on security profiles, which are applied to the entire device fleet, or to a […]

The IoT Foundation Series, a new curriculum dedicated to IoT on AWS, is now available online on the AWS Training and Certification website. This curriculum contains self-directed online training classes that are scenario-based and aligned with the library of IoT design patterns called the IoT Atlas and IoT best practices in AWS whitepapers. This curriculum […]

Since announcing the availability of AWS IoT in 2015, our conversations with customers have made it clear that long-standing IoT design patterns from mature domains such as sensor networks, control system architectures, and machine-to-machine networks had to be revised to include cloud development concepts. The IoT Atlas is a collection of IoT design patterns, best […]

Customers are building globally distributed IoT solutions with AWS IoT. A device that connects to AWS IoT must be provisioned in an AWS Region. However, when devices are shipped globally, you don’t know in which AWS IoT Region the device will connect when it starts operation. In this blog post, I will describe a global […]

Introduction Visualizing IoT data that can vary significantly over short periods of time (seconds) is important for several reasons: exploration and discovery of patterns, assessing trends and cyclicity, as well as observing potential correlations and anomalies. Insightful time-series visualizations can help identify anomalies, raise alerts based on these anomalies, and improve communication between various stakeholders, […]
