In this blog, we are going to learn about IoT services provided by Amazon Cloud Services.
Introduction
Internet of Things(IoT):
Before getting to know about IoT services of AWS we must understand what IoT means.
The term “Internet of things” (IoT) refers to physical objects (or groups of such objects) equipped with sensors, computing power, software, and other technologies that communicate with one another and exchange data through the Internet or other communications networks. The term “internet of things” has been criticized because devices only need to be individually addressable and connected to a network—not the whole internet.
The applications of Internet of Things(IoT) include
- Smart Homes.
- Smart City.
- Self-driven Cars.
- IoT Retail Shops.
- Farming.
- Wearables.
IoT and Cloud Computing
In order to delve into more details of this blog, we must also understand relationship between cloud computing and IoT
Advantages of Cloud IoT
- IoT Cloud Computing provides many connectivity options, implying large network access. People use a wide range of devices to gain
- to cloud computing resources: mobile devices, tablets, laptops. This is convenient for users but creates the problem of the need for network access points.
- Developers can use IoT cloud computing on-demand. In other words, it is a web service accessed without special permission or any help. The only requirement is Internet access.
- Based on the request, users can scale the service according to their needs. Fast and flexible means you can expand storage space, edit software settings, and work with the number of users. Due to this characteristic, it is possible to provide deep computing power and storage.
- Cloud Computing implies the pooling of resources. It influences increased collaboration and builds close connections between users.
AWS IoT Services
These are some of the important IoT services provided by AWS.
AWS IOT 1-CLICK
AWS IoT 1-Click is a service that enables basic devices to trigger AWS Lambda functions. You may simply carry out tasks like alerting technical support, tracking assets, and restocking goods or services with the help of AWS IoT 1-Click enabled devices. Devices that are compatible with AWS IoT 1-Click are pre-configured and ready to use, so you don’t need to write your own firmware or set them up for secure communication. Devices supported by AWS IoT 1-Click are simple to handle. It is simple to establish device groups and link them to a Lambda function that, when called, executes the desired action. The pre-built reports allow you to keep tabs on the activity and health of your devices.
AWS IOT ANALYTICS
AWS IoT Analytics is a fully-managed service that makes it simple to run and operationalize complicated analytics on enormous volumes of IoT data without worrying about the expense and complexity usually associated with building an IoT analytics platform. The best and most accurate conclusions for IoT applications and machine learning use cases may be made using this method, which is the simplest way to execute analytics on IoT data.
Each challenging step needed to evaluate data from IoT devices is automated by AWS IoT Analytics. Prior to being stored in a time-series data store for analysis, IoT data is filtered, transformed, and enhanced by AWS IoT Analytics. You can configure the service to only collect the data you require from your devices, process the data using mathematical transformations, and then add device-specific metadata, including device type and location, before storing the processed data. Then, using the built-in SQL query engine, you may run ad hoc or scheduled queries to analyze your data, or you can carry out more intricate analytics and machine learning inference.
AWS IoT Core
AWS IoT Core is a managed cloud solution that enables simple and secure communication between connected devices and other hardware and cloud-based software. With the ability to manage trillions of messages and billions of devices, AWS IoT Core can consistently and securely process and route messages to AWS endpoints and other devices.
Without having to manage any infrastructure, AWS IoT Core makes it simple to use AWS services like AWS Lambda, AWS Kinesis, Amazon S3, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon CloudWatch, AWS CloudTrail, and Amazon QuickSight to build Internet of IoT applications that gather, process, analyze, and act on data generated by connected devices.
AWS IoT Device Defender
Organizing, managing, and remotely managing IoT devices at scale is simple with AWS IoT Device Management. You can easily manage permissions for your connected devices using AWS IoT Device Management and register them individually or in bulk to keep them secure. . Because AWS IoT Device Management is independent of device type and operating system, you can use the same service to manage everything from restricted microcontrollers to connected cars. You can scale your fleets and lower the cost and effort of managing large and diverse IoT device installations with the assistance of AWS IoT Device Management.
AWS IoT Events
AWS IoT Events is a fully managed IoT service that makes it easy to detect and respond to events from IoT sensors and applications. Events are patterns of data identifying more complicated circumstances than expected, such as changes in equipment when a belt is stuck or connected motion detectors using movement signals to activate lights and security cameras. Using AWS IoT Events, it’s simple to detect events across thousands of IoT sensors sending different telemetry data, such as temperature from a freezer, humidity from respiratory equipment, and belt speed on a motor, and hundreds of equipment management applications.
