Implementing sensor workflows using AWS Snowcone and AWS IoT Greengrass
In our first blog of this series, we covered using an IoT device to store the sensor data on an Amazon EC2 instance running on AWS Snowcone. That use case covered collecting data from sensors in locations such as a factory floor or a mine with austere network connectivity. There are other instances where you […]
Building an IoT solution at the edge with AWS Snowcone
UPDATE: The second blog post in this two-post series was published on January 5, 2020. Internet of Things (IoT) applications, like other applications, require edge solutions to operate in austere conditions with limited network connectivity or limited infrastructure. IoT applications at the edge can span numerous uses, like automation, optimization, and intelligent manufacturing to name […]
Deploying a LAMP-based multi-tier web application on AWS Snowball Edge
Imagine you are building an application at a remote location where you must process and make decisions based on locally generated data, say from surveillance cameras or from detection systems. If there is high network latency, you cannot run these applications in the cloud and process data in real time. Other times, you may be […]
Building a Linux edge-computing solution with AWS Snowball Edge and Amazon EC2
There are many situations where you must run data inference close to the data sources. Often times these are located at remote, disconnected locations. Let’s consider the following examples: A remote oil drilling platform has numerous sensors that generate data. Critical components have to be monitored for wear and tear, or failure, and replacements must […]
Enable large-scale database migrations with AWS DMS and AWS Snowball
Notice: AWS DMS has evolved significantly since 2020, with new features like DMS Fleet Advisor and DMS Schema Conversion mentioned in the current documentation. Consult the latest AWS DMS and Snowball Edge documentation for more information. At some point in any database migration, the bandwidth of your network becomes a limiting factor. Without available high-speed internet links, it can take months to transfer large […]
