The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog

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 […]

Note: The runtime parameter of Python 2.7 is no longer supported for creating or updating the AWS Lambda functions. We recommend you use a supported runtime while creating or updating functions. An IoT solution requires managing a large number of devices, usually hundreds of thousands or millions. When you start to work at a large […]

Note: This article references Node.js 8.10 (now deprecated) and Amazon CloudWatch Events (now Amazon EventBridge) – please use Node.js 20.x+ runtime and Amazon EventBridge console for current implementations. 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The IoT Foundation Series, a new curriculum dedicated to IoT on AWS, is now available online on the AWS Training and Certification website. This curriculum contains self-directed online training classes that are scenario-based and aligned with the library of IoT design patterns called the IoT Atlas and IoT best practices in AWS whitepapers. This curriculum […]

Since announcing the availability of AWS IoT in 2015, our conversations with customers have made it clear that long-standing IoT design patterns from mature domains such as sensor networks, control system architectures, and machine-to-machine networks had to be revised to include cloud development concepts. The IoT Atlas is a collection of IoT design patterns, best […]

Customers are building globally distributed IoT solutions with AWS IoT. A device that connects to AWS IoT must be provisioned in an AWS Region. However, when devices are shipped globally, you don’t know in which AWS IoT Region the device will connect when it starts operation. In this blog post, I will describe a global […]

Note: On December 15, 2025, AWS will end support for AWS IoT Analytics. After December 15, 2025, you will no longer be able to access the AWS IoT Analytics console or AWS IoT Analytics resources. For more information, see AWS IoT Analytics end of support. Introduction Visualizing IoT data that can vary significantly over short periods […]

In part 1 of this blog post, we created an image classification model for a recycling facility’s sorter to identify four beverage containers. We deployed it to our AWS IoT Greengrass Core device using the new AWS IoT Greengrass Image Classification connector. AWS IoT Greengrass connectors, announced at this year’s re:Invent, make it possible for […]
