Automating AWS IoT Greengrass Setup With AWS CloudFormation
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 […]
Get Started with the IoT Foundation Series from AWS Training and Certification
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 […]
Provision Devices Globally with AWS IoT
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 […]
Using Bluetooth Low Energy with Amazon FreeRTOS on Espressif ESP32
Today Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the beta of Amazon FreeRTOS BLE, a feature that makes it possible for embedded developers to securely connect Amazon FreeRTOS devices that use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to AWS IoT through Android or iOS devices. BLE support in Amazon FreeRTOS lets developers create new applications for devices that need […]

Post by Hitendra Nishar, AWS Solutions Builder Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) is an open source project to accelerate the development and adoption of a fully open software stack for connected vehicles. AGL is building a Linux-based, open software platform that can serve as the de facto industry standard and enable rapid development of new features […]
Configuring Cognito User Pools to Communicate with AWS IoT Core
AWS IoT Core supports certificate-based mutual authentication, custom authorizers, and Amazon Cognito Identity as way to authenticate requests to the AWS IoT device gateway. Amazon Cognito User Pools was made generally available last year. It allows customers to easily add user sign up and sign in to mobile and web apps. You can use Cognito […]
Detect anomalies on connected devices using AWS IoT Device Defender
We often see security breaches depicted in media and popular culture. In the HBO series Silicon Valley, a compromised refrigerator is used by hacker Gilfoyle to run a malicious piece of software. The reality of connected devices isn’t very different from this fictitious scenario. The compromised refrigerator can send consumer data to unauthorized endpoints. Connected […]

Using AWS IoT for Predictive Maintenance
The interest in machine learning for industrial and manufacturing use cases on the edge is growing. Manufacturers need to know when a machine is about to fail so they can better plan for maintenance. For example, as a manufacturer, you might have a machine that is sensitive to various temperature, velocity, or pressure changes. When […]
Using Continuous Jobs with AWS IoT Device Management
In an earlier Using Over-the-Air Updates with AWS IoT Device Management blog post, we showed you how to create a simple AWS IoT snapshot job and track its progress. In this post, we will show you step-by-step how to configure and create an AWS IoT continuous job. A continuous job is a long running job […]
