AWS Greengrass is a new software platform for running local compute, data caching and messaging on connected devices. With AWS Greengrass, connected devices can run AWS Lambda functions, keep device data in sync, and communicate with other devices securely – even when not connected to the Internet. Using AWS Lambda, Greengrass ensures your IoT devices can respond quickly to local events, operate with intermittent connections, and minimize the cost of transmitting IoT data to the cloud.

Introducing AWS Greengrass

2. We can't overestimate the value of computers.
Yes, they are great for playing games and forwarding
funny emails. But real business is done on paper.

3. Most machine data never reaches the cloud
Medical equipment Industrial machinery Extreme environments

AWS Greengrass extends AWS onto your devices, so they can act locally on
the data they generate, while still taking advantage of the cloud.

12. Greengrass Components
Greengrass is software, not
hardware (you bring your own)
2 Components that work together:
• Greengrass Core
• IoT Device SDK

13. AWS Greengrass Core (GGC)
The runtime responsible for
Lambda execution, messaging,
device shadows, security, and for
interacting directly with the cloud

14. AWS Greengrass Core (GGC)
• Min single-core 1 GHz
• Min 128 MB RAM
• x86 and ARM
• Linux (Ubuntu or Amazon)
• The sky is the limit

15. IoT device SDK
Any device that uses the IoT
device SDK can be configured to
interact with AWS Greengrass
core via the local network
Devices can be small or big
Starts with the IoT device SDK
for C++, more coming soon

16. Devices work together locally
An AWS Greengrass group
is a set of cores and other
devices configured to
communicate with one
another

17. Devices work together with the cloud
AWS Greengrass works
with AWS IoT to maintain
long-lived connections
and process data via
the rules engine
Your Lambda functions
can also interact directly
with other AWS services

Features of AWS Greengrass

19. Local Lambda
Lambda functions are event-driven
compute functions
With AWS Greengrass you can
write Lambda functions in the
cloud and deploy them locally

20. Local Lambda
AWS Greengrass runs Lambda
functions written in Python 2.7
Invoke Lambda functions with
messaging and shadow updates

21. Local Lambda—What you can do
Command and control
Offline operation
Data filtering and aggregation
Get smarter over time

22. Shadows
JSON documents that
represent state of your devices
and Lambda functions
Define them however is logical to
you—a car, an engine, a fleet
Sync to the cloud or
keep them local

23. Shadows – What you can do
Device state (current and desired)
Granular device state (only
synched to the cloud for debug)
Lightweight configuration

24. Messaging
Local MQTT pub/sub messaging
Define subscriptions between
publishers and subscribers
Apply MQTT topic filters

25. Security
Mutual auth, both locally and also
with the cloud
Certificate on your devices can be
associated to SigV4 credentials in
the cloud
You can directly call any AWS
service from AWS Greengrass
