AWS IoT

The IoT or Internet of Things category is a collection of services that are specifically designed for the management and implementation of IoT technology.  These allows you to easily integrate IoT models or functions into your application.

Below are the various IoT services available in this category.

IoT Core       - AWS IoT provides secure, bi-directional communication between Internet-connected devices such as sensors, actuators, embedded micro-controllers, or smart appliances and the AWS Cloud. This enables you to collect telemetry data from multiple devices, and store and analyze the data. You can also create applications that enable your users to control these devices from their phones or tablets.

IoT 1-Click      - AWS IoT 1-Click is a service that makes it easy for simple devices to trigger AWS Lambda functions that execute a specific action. Some examples of possible actions include calling technical support, reordering goods and services, or locking and unlocking doors and windows. Simple devices are cloud-connected, single-purpose devices like buttons, badge readers, asset trackers, and motion sensors. The AWS IoT Enterprise Button, based on the Amazon Dash Button hardware, is a simple device that you can buy and use with the AWS IoT 1-Click service. You can use the AWS IoT Enterprise Button to capture quick customer feedback without burdening customers with time-consuming questionnaires. For example, in an airport lounge, patrons can press one of five buttons to rate their overall experience on a scale from one to five.
       - Creating Lambda triggers for any of your simple devices is easy. You just download the 1-Click mobile app from Google Play or the Apple App Store and choose from the list of devices that are already preconfigured to securely connect to AWS. After selecting your device, you choose the Lambda function you want to run when the device sends the trigger.  You can write Lambda functions to start or stop a machine or remotely control your home appliances.  Once you select the Lambda function you want to use, you can deploy it to your device with a single click.  After your devices are deployed, AWS IoT 1-Click provides reports so you can track the utilization and status of deployed devices.

IoT Device Management       - AWS IoT Device Management makes it easy to securely manage IoT devices at scale through their lifecycle -- from initial setup to ongoing software updates.
       - Customers can use AWS IoT Device Management to onboard device information and configuration, organize their device inventory, monitor their fleet of devices, and remotely manage devices deployed across many locations. This remote management includes over-the-air (OTA) updates to device software.

IoT Device Defender       - AWS IoT Device Defender is an AWS IoT security service that allows you to audit the configuration of your devices, monitor your connected devices to detect abnormal behavior, and to mitigate security risks. It gives you the ability to enforce consistent security policies across your AWS IoT device fleet and respond quickly when devices are compromised.  

IoT Events       - AWS IoT Events allows you to monitor your equipment or device fleets for failures or changes in operation, and to trigger actions when such events occur.  It enables you to build complex equipment monitoring applications on the AWS cloud, accessible through the AWS IoT Events console or APIs.  AWS IoT Events continuously watches IoT sensor data from devices and applications to identify significant events and take action when they occur.

IoT Analytics
      
- AWS IoT Analytics provides advanced data analysis for AWS IoT. You can collect large amounts of device data, process messages, and store them. You can then query the data and run sophisticated analytics to make accurate decisions in your IoT applications and machine learning use cases.

Greengrass
       - AWS Greengrass lets your devices process the data they generate locally, while still taking advantage of AWS services when an internet connection is available. 
       - It seamlessly extends AWS onto physical devices so they can act locally on the data they generate, while still using the cloud for management, analytics, and durable storage. AWS Greengrass ensures your devices can respond quickly to local events and operate with intermittent connectivity. AWS Greengrass minimizes the cost of transmitting data to the cloud by allowing you to author AWS Lambda functions that execute locally.

IoT SiteWise       - AWS IoT SiteWise is an AWS IoT service that makes it easy to collect, structure, and search data from industrial equipment at scale.

IoT Things Graph       - AWS IoT Things Graph is an integrated set of tools that enable developers to build IoT applications using devices and services that use different data representation standards and communication protocols. 

Amazon FreeRTOS       - Amazon FreeRTOS is an operating system that makes microcontroller-based edge devices easy to program, deploy, secure, and maintain. Amazon FreeRTOS extends the FreeRTOS kernel, a popular open source operating system for microcontrollers, with software libraries that can be used to securely connect devices (locally and to the cloud) and update them remotely.

AWS Builders' Day in Calgary!

Good new my fellow Calgarians! AWS is hosting a full day technical event here in Calgary. The details of the event are as follows: Date: April 30, 2019 (Tuesday) Time: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm (Mountain Time) Location: Delta Hotel by Marriott - Downtown Calgary                  209 4th Ave SE, Calgary AB T2G 0C6 ( view map ) Additional info:   This is an all day free event.  breakfast and lunch will be provided. What to expect from the event: In this event you will get a chance to build Intelligent Data Lakes using AWS Big Data & Analytics and AI/ML Services that you can definitely take back and use in your organization.  There will be multiple Deep dive sessions on the related services as well as workshops to allow you to have a hands on feel of the technology. By the end of the day,  you would have built yourself a functional cloud-native and future-proof Serverless data lake architecture. AWS Technologies that will be discussed: Amazon Kinesis Firehose AWS Glue
