worry about scalability or utilization

truly only paying for what they really

use so what does this mean for you it

means that no matter what business or

industry you're in a nervous iot can

help you extract value from your

connected devices to understand this a

bit better let's take a deeper look at

all the ADA authority services one by

one starting at the source where most of

the IOT data is generated we provide

Amazon free artists a free open-source

offer your green grass enabled devices

continue to route local messages even

when they lose internet connected

and when the connectivity is

reestablished they automatically sync

data and device states securely with the

alias cloud database Greengrass does

this utilizing the very same security

mechanisms and encryption used in the

cloud with alias IOT and its updatable

so you get access to new features and

security enhancements in the future

along with Amazon free artisan a double

screen Grasse our cloud-based service

database IOT core forms the backbone for

IOT deployments to securely connect all

your devices and handle the data at

scale Adria site eco allows you to

securely connect devices to the AWS

cloud and with each other it allows you

to route process and act on the data and

messages coming from those devices and

it also allows you to deploy and develop

applications that can interact with your

devices even when they're offline

onboarding a few devices is easy doing

so for millions and keeping your

distributed device fleets healthy is

much more complicated that's why we

provide a diverse IOT device management

it helps you onboard new device types

and provision them in bulk it maintains

a catalog of device information and

configuration like serial numbers and

policies it also indexes dynamic state

information such as temperature or rpm

you can then query devices based on both

static attributes including firmware

versions as well as dynamic state such

as temperature in quasi real-time

database IOT device management monitors

your devices to diagnose and

troubleshoot issues and then allows you

to remotely perform over-the-air updates

to your entire fleet sub fleet or

individual devices security has always

been our number one concern at AWS with

a SS IO T core you have already built in

device authentication and authorization

to keep your IOT solution safe however

with all the new device types being

deployed across so many different

environments and locations it's hard to

always know if your security policies

are implemented consistently

across your entire fleet of devices

that's why we are building a Libya's IOT

device defender to continuously audit

the policies associated with your

devices it also monitors your device

fleet for abnormal behavior that might

indicate a potential security issue and

it alerts you if something doesn't look

right like traffic from devices to an

unauthorized IP address or spikes in

outbound traffic that might indicate

that the device is participating in a

DDoS attack and finally through its

integration with IOT device management

IOT device Defender lets you take

corrective actions to keep your devices

secure now that you can maintain your

fleet health and keep it secure the key

question is how do you generate value

from your device data that's where a

device IOT analytics comes into play it

is a fully managed analytic service to

easily analyze IOT data it can run

analytics on massive volumes of IOT data

without having to worry about all the

cost and complexity typically required

to build your own IOT analytics platform

it filters transforms and enriches IOT

data before storing it in an IOT of

demise data store that way you can

easily query your data using the built

in sequel query engine and visualize

your outcome using Amazon quick side a

double sight analytics also supports

more sophisticated analytics by

preparing your data for machine learning

using pre-built jupiter' notebook

templates of machine learning models

that can be trained and run using Amazon

sage maker and to close the loop you can

deploy your cloud Trant machine learning

models to an edge device with AWS

Greengrass that means you can make

predictions based on locally generated

data without a round trip to the cloud

application developers can now add

machine learning to the devices without

having specialized machine learning

skills finally we thought about whether

there was a way to make it even easier

to get started with IOT maybe you just

want to be able to press

button to get the hotel staff to pick up

your dirty dishes from your hotel room

or on the factory floor

you just want to have a simple button

next to your machinery that calls a

service team member to fix the machine

if something doesn't work what if you

just needed to acquire device configure

it in a simple way to execute a

dedicated action and it just works this

is how we came up with a Libya's IOT one

click to enable one-click creation of a

trigger for an AWS lambda function for

pre-configured simple devices like a

sensor or a button with AWS IOT

one-click you can select and order

devices that ship fully provisioned to

securely connect to a Wi-Fi you can

configure and deploy those devices with

just one click

via a simple mobile app to take

dedicated actions and you can easily

define attributes and extract reports on

your devices from the very same mobile

app with the help of a lebra's IOT you

can know the state of everything and you

can reason on top of the data so what

problems would you solve today
