Diverse Cloud Solutions with AWS IoT

By CIOReview | Wednesday, January 30, 2019

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers wide and deep functionality that extends from the edge to the cloud so that a business can build IoT solutions for virtually any case of use across a wide range of devices. Since AWS IoT integrates with AI services, devices can be smarter without internet connectivity.

AWS is already providing a lot of IoT services, including security tools, operating system, and audit protection. To deploy IoT apps data ingestion, analytics, and troubleshooting, lots of coding are often required. But the AWS developed the new services that offer easy and simplified steps to develop the IoT applications. AWS IoT offers the most comprehensive security features to create preventive security policies and address potential security issues immediately.

Amazon FreeRTOS, a real-time microcontroller operating system, runs on devices such as industrial sensors and lightbulbs and AWS IoT Greengrass, runs on gateways and servers.

AWS brings together AI and IoT to make devices smarter. Companies can build, train, and optimize cloud models and deploy them as events unfold on AWS IoT Greengrass devices so that companies can act as events unfold.

IoT applications require preventive action as well as active monitoring and respond to safeguard data and devices. AWS IoT offers options for all security layers. AWS IoT SiteWise is an event and response service which collects data from IoT applications and sensors and investigates anomalies. AWS IoT Events is a managed service that makes it easy to detect events in tens of thousands of IoT sensors to measure moisture, speed, and temperature.

AWS IoT Things Graph is a service that simplifies IoT app development process. The developers can connect various devices and web services via a smooth drag - and - drop interface. AWS IoT Greengrass allows businesses to execute local computing safely, messaging, data caching, synchronization, and machine learning capabilities on connected devices. AWS IoT Device Defender monitors and audits the IoT settings continuously to ensure that they do not deviate from the best practices of security.
