This document provides an introduction to connecting Intel Edison devices to the AWS IoT cloud platform. It describes using an Intel Edison and various sensors to collect environmental data and control devices. The steps outlined include configuring the Edison board, connecting to AWS IoT, and setting up rules and applications to process and react to the sensor data in the cloud. Examples of tasks include turning on a fan if the temperature gets too high or sending an email alert in that situation.
