This document discusses connecting an Intel Edison device to the AWS IoT cloud platform. It describes how the Intel Edison is a quarter-sized computer that can be used with various sensors and actuators. It then provides an overview of how the AWS IoT platform works, allowing devices to connect and communicate securely while taking advantage of other AWS services. It concludes by pointing the reader to a step-by-step guide for connecting an Intel Edison device to demonstrate an example smart home application using AWS IoT.
