Let Us Create An IoT Inside the AWS Cloud

Abstract

Purpose: The Internet of Things (IoT) has become essential to modern technological advancements, with various industries leveraging its capabilities. One of the significant challenges of IoT implementation is the storage, processing, and analysis of the vast amounts of data generated. AWS is a popular platform for IoT operation. This paper proposes using Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a cloud computing platform for IoT applications. By leveraging AWS's robust infrastructure, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, IoT developers can focus on creating innovative applications that transform businesses and improve customer experiences. The interface of the various AWS service has changed. Using the New AWS IoT console, we demonstrate how to create IoT device shadows.

Design/Methodology/Approach: IoT Thing is the backbone of any IoT interaction. First, we create Our AWS account. Because without an account, it cannot operate IoT devices. After a successful account setup, we create our things. After that, we create a device shadow, which is used to update or fetch the device data among the devices interconnected through the Internet. There are several ways to interact with device shadows. Here we talk about the few most straightforward and efficient ways, the hardware devices like ESP8266/ESP32 wifi modules, using MQTT and IoT device clients. Another efficient way is communicating through the Lambda function, which can create an Alexa-operated IoT device.

Findings/Result: There are several ways to create an internet of things. Probably the best and most reliable platform is AWS. Its security and interface are user-friendly. Here, through a simple illustration, we discussed how to create Things inside the AWS cloud, the backbone of transferring or fetching data from one end to another over the Internet.

Originality/Value: The several documents available over the web for understanding and creating the AWS IoT. Here, through simple illustration, we demonstrate how we can easily use AWS's new interface. Our researchers working or going to experiment with AWS's new IoT console can get valuable reference information for their research.

Paper Type: Experimental-based Research.
