Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) industry is trending towards devices that are compatible with the latest standards, interfaces, and protocols. To remain competitive, device manufacturers have to release new features, perform system updates, and deploy security patches in a timely manner. Software applications have long been using automated continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines […]

Introduction AWS IoT SiteWise is a managed service that helps customers collect, store, organize and monitor data from their industrial equipment at scale. Customers often need to bring their historical equipment measurement data from existing systems such as data historians and time series databases into AWS IoT SiteWise for ensuring data continuity, training artificial intelligence […]

Introduction High-fidelity simulation is increasingly important during the development of robots and robotic applications. Virtual environments with photo-realistic objects, and robot models with accurate physics are essential for developing and testing robots that perform reliably on sophisticated tasks in the physical world.  Setting up a high-fidelity simulation, training, and testing environment, however, poses challenges. Installing […]

Introduction Today, we are excited to announce that AWS IoT FleetWise now supports object storage in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). This new feature makes it easy and cost-effective for automotive customers to create and manage data pipelines from their vehicles. A customer can now select where vehicle data is persisted in the cloud depending […]

Introduction When sending data from Internet of Things (IoT) devices to a data lake, you may need to enrich the device data payload with additional metadata in the cloud for further data processing and visualization. There are multiple reasons this data might not exist in the device payload, such as minimizing the device payload in […]

Introduction Internet of Things (IoT) developers often need to implement a robust mechanism for managing IoT device state either locally or remotely. A typical example is a smart home radiator, an IoT device where you can use the built-in control panel to adjust the temperature (device state), or trigger temperature adjustment messages remotely from a […]

Introduction We’re very pleased to introduce the Certificate Rotator component for AWS IoT Greengrass, a new component in the Greengrass Software Catalog. AWS IoT Greengrass brings the AWS cloud closer to edge devices to support applications that demand local data processing and low latency. The growing number of edge devices in consumer, enterprise, and industrial […]

Introduction The new shared subscriptions feature in AWS IoT Core brings the load balancing capability to multiple subscribing MQTT sessions or consumers. While non-shared subscription sends all the published messages to all its subscribers, shared subscription sends a published message to only one of its subscribers in a random manner. In this blog post, we’ll […]

Introduction Have you experienced long wait times when loading up a 3D scene in AWS IoT TwinMaker? Perhaps struggling with poor rendering performance when navigating a complex 3D model? There is a way to convert your models into the 3D Tiles standard for efficient streaming in a scene. In this blog you will learn how […]

Introduction We’re very pleased to announce that AWS IoT Core now supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.3 amongst its transport security options. TLS 1.3 offers customers enhanced security and performance as compared to TLS 1.2. Customers can configure the TLS version for their default Amazon Trust Services (ATS) data plane endpoint and for their […]
