Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Brett Francis. Welcome to another installment in the Bites of IoT blog series.In this bite, we will use the AWS IoT rules engine to select and route a message to Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS). Specifically, we’ll send a text message to a phone number when someone rings a virtual doorbell. Concepts Covered in This Bite The rules engine is often the first point at which your IoT solution can take actions on a device’s messages (for example, message filtering, routing to other services, and even direct processing ...

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Ryan Burke. The AWS IoT platform enables you to connect your devices and build scalable Internet of Things solutions with the breadth of Amazon Web Services.When shopping for a new tool, many developers want to be able to test-drive options before making a choice. When evaluating an IoT solution, it’s not practical to do so at scale with physical devices. Building a sensor simulator is the next best choice. With a sensor simulator built on top of AWS Lambda, you can elastically generate device sensors that report their state ... Read More

Feed: What's New. You can now easily configure your containerized application to access storage volumes backed by Local instance storage, Amazon Elastic Block Storage (EBS) or Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) volumes through the use of Docker volume drivers and volume plugins such as Rex-Ray and Portworx. Previously, if you wanted to deploy containerized applications that required access to storage volumes, you had to manually manage your storage volume using custom tooling such as bash scripts, lambda functions, and manual configuration of Docker volumes. Now, with the support for Docker volumes, you can deploy stateful and storage-intensive applications on Amazon ... Read More

Feed: AWS Government, Education, & Nonprofits Blog. Author: publicsector. Imagine you are on a city street surrounded by skyscrapers. When you look up to the stars, you will only see the part of the sky that is not blocked by buildings. This type of vision is called sky view factor (SVF).The SVF denotes the ratio between the radiation received at a point on Earth and the available radiation for a hemisphere over that point. Dr. Andrea Pagani, a data scientist at the DataLab of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, has been looking at how to efficiently compute the SVF for ... Read More

By Jordan Martz, Director of Technology Solutions at AttunityBy Clive Bearman, Director of Product Marketing at AttunityBy Phil de Valence, Solutions Architect for Mainframe Modernization at AWSIt is estimated that 80 percent of the world’s corporate data resides on or originates from mainframes, according to IBM. Historically, mainframes have hosted core-business processes, applications, and data, all of which are blocked in these rigid and expensive mainframe systems. Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Attunity can liberate mainframe data in real-time, enabling customers to exploit its full business value for data lakes, ... Read More
