Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Gavin Adams. 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 CloudFormation template to:Launch an EC2 instance running the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software. Deploy a Lambda function at the edge. Set up subscriptions to communicate between AWS IoT Core and AWS IoT ... Read More

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: David Reis. An IoT solution requires managing a large number of devices, usually hundreds of thousands or millions. When you start to work at a large scale, you need to keep your fleet protected by continuously checking if it is following security best practices. It can be challenging for organizations to audit all devices and automatically remediate issues.In this blog post, you will learn how to use AWS IoT Device Defender to simplify this task. The sample architecture shows an example of how to inspect and update AWS IoT ... Read More

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Nisheedh Raveendran. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to use new capabilities of AWS IoT Device Management fleet indexing. Starting now, you can use aggregation queries in conjunction with AWS Lambda and Amazon CloudWatch to automate fleet monitoring.When managing Internet of Things (IoT) devices, it can be challenging to monitor the state of the fleet. The complexity is due to many factors: the number of devices, number of dynamic states to monitor, and number of notification mechanisms for fleet state change. AWS IoT Device Management is a ...

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Cindy Polin. Your fleet of IoT devices has diverse capabilities, is long lived, and is geographically distributed. These characteristics coupled with the growing number of connected devices raise questions about how to address security risks. Many devices have limited compute ability, memory, and storage capabilities, which restrict opportunities for security. Despite existing protections like device identity management and encryption, breaches using IoT devices still happen, such as distributed denial of service attacks. This can lead to loss of reputation and even unauthorized releases of information.AWS IoT Device Defender is ... Read More

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: James Richardson. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) presents an unparalleled opportunity for every industry to address core business challenges, such as reducing downtime, improving safety, increasing system output, reducing operating costs, and creating innovative services and business models. In this blog post, I will show how you can use AWS IoT services to build an asset condition monitoring solution that captures data from physical assets so you can understand their status and performance and take appropriate action.Why monitor your assets? When you monitor the status of industrial assets ... Read More

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Catalin Vieru. Realize business outcomes with the IoT Device Simulator, AWS IoT Analytics, Amazon QuickSight, Microsoft Power BI, and TableauCustomers often get wrapped up in slower hardware development cycles before they have real, potential business outcomes identified and agreed upon for their business. This post highlights how customers should consider using simulated devices to explore business outcomes in parallel to the actual development and engineering of the devices. Real devices can then be built and deployed to provide real instrumented data to materialize actual business outcomes. This paradigm shift ... Read More

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Eknath Venkataramani. AWS IoT Device Defender supports your efforts to secure your IoT device fleet. AWS IoT Device Defender Detect establishes a baseline behavior for IoT devices and then identifies devices that do not conform as anomalous. AWS IoT Device Defender Detect operates on security profiles, which are applied to the entire device fleet, or to a thing group. From a security standpoint, security profiles specify your IoT device’s expected behavior. We recommend that you group devices that are expected to behave similarly into a thing group. Next, you ...
