Amazon is great a creating cloud product. For years we have used AWS for websites, databases, machine learning, application development, and more. We currently utilize AWS’s IoT Core framework which is a great way to get started managing multiple connected devices.
The way it works is elegant but also fairly simple:
-Install a certificate on your device
-Device pings data to an AWS server
-You can route the data to a variety of services, or process it via a Lambda
-Security and device management is set up for you so that you can work on your hardware and software!
