Amazon Web Services today announced Amazon IoT, a new service companies can use to hook up with Internet-connected devices and build applications based on them.
Until this point, working with devices, networks, security, and data collection for Internet of Things (IoT) applications has been difficult, Amazon chief technology officer Werner Vogels said at the AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas today.
A feature called Device Shadows will “make it easy for you to actually control your devices without having to have the specific knowledge of how to communicate with that device,” Vogels said.
Amazon IoT also comes with a device registry, a rules engine, and a publish-subscribe Device Gateway feature that supports the MQTT protocol, AWS executive Matt Wood said during a presentation on the new tool. There are newC and JavaScript software development kits and an Arduino library to help developers work with the service.
Not surprisingly, AWS is emphasizing how much Amazon IoT can be connected up with many other AWS services, including S3, DynamoDB, Amazon Machine Learning, and Lambda.
