Edge Computing

AWS for the Edge

Bringing data processing and analysis closer to end-points

Infrastructure

AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any datacenter, co-location space, or on-premises facility for a truly consistent hybrid experience. AWS Outposts is ideal for workloads that require low latency access to on-premises systems, local data processing, or local data storage. Learn more
AWS Local Zones are a new type of AWS infrastructure deployment that places AWS compute, storage, database, and other select services closer to large population, industry, and IT centers where no AWS Region exists today. With AWS Local Zones, you can easily run latency-sensitive portions of applications local to end-points and resources in a specific geography, delivering single-digit millisecond latency for use cases such as media & entertainment content creation, real-time gaming, reservoir simulations, electronic design automation, and machine learning. Learn more
AWS Wavelength enables developers to build applications that deliver single-digit millisecond latencies to mobile devices and end-users. AWS developers can deploy their applications to Wavelength Zones, AWS infrastructure deployments that embed AWS compute and storage services within the telecommunications providers’ datacenters at the edge of the 5G networks, and seamlessly access the breadth of AWS services in the region. This enables developers to deliver applications that require single-digit millisecond latencies such as game and live video streaming, machine learning inference at the edge, and augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR). Learn more

Storage

AWS Storage Gateway

AWS Storage Gateway is a hybrid cloud storage service that lets you seamlessly connect and extend your on-premises applications to AWS Cloud storage, caching data locally for low-latency access. Customers use Storage Gateway to simplify storage management and reduce costs for key hybrid cloud storage use cases. These include moving backups to the cloud, using on-premises file shares backed by cloud storage, and providing low latency access to data in AWS for on-premises applications.  Learn more

Content Delivery

Amazon CloudFront

Amazon CloudFront is a global content delivery network (CDN) service that securely delivers data, videos, applications, and APIs to your viewers with low latency and high transfer speeds. You can get started with Amazon CloudFront in minutes using APIs, the AWS Management Console, AWS CloudFormation, CLIs, and SDKs. Amazon CloudFront offers a simple, pay-as-you-go pricing model with no upfront fees or long-term contracts.  Learn more

Robotics

AWS RoboMaker

AWS RoboMaker enables robotics developers to build, test, and simulate robotics applications, and then deploy them to the edge in production robot fleets. With RoboMaker simulation you can easily simulate and virtually test robotics applications in various environments faster and at a higher scale than you can with only physical devices, enabling higher quality software, and better performing and safer robots. Using AWS RoboMaker fleet management, built on AWS IoT Greengrass, you can deploy an application to a fleet of robots. Using the CloudWatch metrics and logs extension for ROS, you can monitor these robots throughout their lifecycle to understand CPU, speed, memory, battery, and more.  Learn more

Machine Learning

Amazon SageMaker Neo enables developers to train machine learning models once and run them anywhere in the cloud and at the edge. Amazon SageMaker Neo optimizes models to run up to twice as fast, with less than a tenth of the memory footprint, with no loss in accuracy. Learn more
Amazon SageMaker Edge Manager helps you optimize, secure, monitor, and maintain machine learning models on fleets of edge devices to ensure that models deployed on edge devices are operating correctly. Learn more
Amazon Monitron is an end-to-end system that uses machine learning (ML) to detect abnormal behavior in industrial machinery, enabling you to implement predictive maintenance and reduce unplanned downtime. Learn more
AWS Panorama is a machine learning Appliance and Software Development Kit (SDK) that allows organizations to bring computer vision (CV) to on-premises cameras to make predictions locally with high accuracy and low latency. Learn more

IoT

AWS IoT Greengrass seamlessly extends AWS to edge devices so they can act locally on the data they generate, while still using the cloud for management, analytics, and durable storage. With AWS IoT Greengrass, connected devices can run AWS Lambda functions, Docker containers, or both, execute predictions based on machine learning models, keep device data in sync, and communicate with other devices securely – even when not connected to the Internet. Learn more
FreeRTOS is an open source, real-time operating system for microcontrollers that makes small, low-power edge devices easy to program, deploy, secure, connect, and manage. Distributed freely under the MIT open source license, FreeRTOS includes a kernel and a growing set of software libraries suitable for use across industry sectors and applications. FreeRTOS is built with an emphasis on reliability and ease of use. Learn more
AWS IoT Core lets you connect IoT devices to the AWS cloud without the need to provision or manage servers. AWS IoT Core can support billions of devices and trillions of messages, and can process and route those messages to AWS endpoints and to other devices reliably and securely. With AWS IoT Core, your applications can keep track of and communicate with all your devices, all the time, even when they aren’t connected. Learn more
AWS IoT SiteWise makes it easy to collect, organize, and analyze data from industrial equipment at scale. With AWS IoT SiteWise Edge, you can collect, organize, process, and monitor equipment data locally before sending the data to the AWS Cloud. You run SiteWise Edge on local hardware such as third-party industrial gateways and computers, or on AWS Outposts and AWS Snow Family compute devices. Learn more
