Simplify multi-account device provisioning and certificate authority registration when using AWS IoT Core

Customers often manage multiple AWS accounts to separate their development, staging, and production environments. When deploying IoT workloads on AWS IoT Core, customers usually use unique X.509 certificates for identifying devices and certificate authorities (CAs) for validating the signature of device certificates during provisioning. In this blog, we will demonstrate how to use the newly […]

Drive efficiencies in sustainable waste management using AWS IoT Core

According to the UK local government association, councils spend around £852 million per year on waste collection. Therefore, even a small savings of 5% is considerable, amounting to £42.6 million. Additionally, when it comes to food, globally, we waste almost 1 billion tonnes of food each year. According to WRAP charity, businesses and governments are […]

Automating workflows for AWS IoT Greengrass V2 components

Introduction AWS IoT Greengrass V2 Development Kit Command-Line Interface (GDK CLI) was announced at AWS re:Invent 2021. With GDK CLI you can easily create AWS IoT Greengrass V2 components, flexibly define recipes, and publish these components to AWS IoT Greengrass V2. However, every time there is a change to the AWS Greengrass V2 component recipe, […]
