This document contains a presentation about AWS IoT given by Boaz Ziniman at Web Summit in Lisbon in November 2017. The presentation introduces IoT and the challenges of connecting devices at scale. It then outlines how AWS IoT provides a fully managed platform for connecting devices securely and at scale using protocols like MQTT. It also describes features of AWS IoT like rules engines, device shadows, and security. The presentation concludes with demos of building IoT applications using AWS IoT.

Introducing AWS IoT
Respond to signals from your
fleet of devices and take
action with Rule Engine
Connect any device via
MQTT/HTTP securely. Quickly get
started with AWS IoT Starter Kits
and Scale to billions of messages
across millions of devices
Securely connect any
physical device to AWS
Shift business logic from
device to cloud and route
data to AWS service of your
choice for storage and
analysis using rules engine.
Create Web and Mobile
Applications that Interact with
Devices reliably at any time
“Securely connect one or one-billion devices to AWS,
so they can interact with applications and other devices”
Easily build applications on
web and mobile that interact
with devices, even when they
are offline, with AWS SDK and
Device Shadow.

Hide complexity of device connectivity (developers
do not need to know what protocol the device uses)
Mindful of device constraints
Holds the commands until device is ready
Can be queried anytime
Very fast (~120ms round trip)

1. Device Publishes Current State
2. Persist JSON Data Store
3. App requests device’s current state
4. App requests change the state
5. Device Shadow sync’s
updated state
6. Device Publishes Current State 7. Device Shadow confirms state change
