How to get started with the new shared subscriptions in AWS IoT Core

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 […]

Convert glTF to 3D Tiles for streaming of large models in AWS IoT TwinMaker

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 […]

Introducing TLS 1.3 support in AWS IoT Core

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 […]

Using MicroPython to get started with AWS IoT Core

Introduction Customers ask how they can get started with AWS IoT using the devices and languages they are familiar with. To help address this need, AWS has published tutorials such as connecting a Raspberry Pi and creating a virtual device with Amazon EC2 in the AWS IoT Core Developer Guide. This blog walks you through […]

Optimize image classification on AWS IoT Greengrass using ONNX Runtime

Introduction Performing machine learning inference on edge devices using models trained in the cloud has become a popular use case in Internet of Things (IoT) as it brings the benefits of low latency, scalability, and cost savings. When deploying models to edge devices with limited compute and memory, developers have the challenge to manually tune […]

Protecting Linux-based IoT devices against unintended USB access

Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) industry continues to grow at an aggressive pace. As the number of connected devices ramps up, managing security of these devices at scale can be challenging. One of the potential risks that IoT devices face is unintended USB access, which can occur when an unauthorized connection is made through […]

Secure IIoT secondary sensing using AWS Snowcone and CloudRail

Introduction One of the major barriers to Industrial IoT (IIoT) adoption is integrating modern IIoT solutions in brownfield environments with legacy components and systems. These legacy industrial components and systems could be 20, 30, 40 years old and are less capable of supporting modern security standards. Physically connecting legacy industrial systems to the cloud can be […]

Ingest industrial data at scale with AWS IoT SiteWise Edge on Microsoft Windows Server

Introduction Industrial customers in manufacturing, oil and gas, energy, and utilities industries commonly use Windows-based industrial devices and infrastructure. The recent release of AWS IoT SiteWise Edge for Windows, enables these customers to rapidly deploy and connect AWS IoT industrial facilities to AWS. Customers will be able to install AWS IoT SiteWise Edge natively on […]

How to build smart applications using Protocol Buffers with AWS IoT Core

Introduction to Protocol Buffers Protocol Buffers, or Protobuf, provide a platform-neutral approach for serializing structured data. Protobuf is similar to JSON, except it is smaller, faster, and is capable of automatically generating bindings in your preferred programming language. AWS IoT Core is a managed service that lets you connect billions of IoT devices and route […]

Building an OCPP-compliant electric vehicle charge point operator solution using AWS IoT Core

The shift from fossil fuels to electric powered vehicles is a key component of government and commercial commitments to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. It is projected that the United States alone will require a national network of at least 500,000 electric vehicle (EV) chargers by 2030 to support the projected number of EVs on […]
