Customers are increasingly leveraging AWS IoT to create globally distributed IoT solutions. Each device that connects to AWS IoT must be provisioned within a specific AWS Region. However, when these devices are distributed worldwide, it can be uncertain which AWS IoT Region they will connect to once activated. In this post, we will explore a global approach to device provisioning that enhances operational efficiency.
Visualizing IoT data, which can fluctuate significantly in short timeframes, is vital for various reasons: discovering patterns, assessing trends, and noting potential correlations or anomalies. Insightful time-series visualizations can aid in identifying these anomalies and triggering alerts, thereby facilitating better communication among stakeholders.

In a recent two-part series, we discussed the use of image classification models in recycling facilities with AWS IoT Greengrass. This technology enables local data analysis, making it easier to deploy machine learning models at the edge of the network. By utilizing the AWS IoT Greengrass Image Classification connector, users can effectively analyze data closer to the source, improving response times and accuracy in operations.
A case study involving an oil and gas client demonstrated the benefits of AWS IoT Analytics. The client sought to enhance understanding of field assets such as pumps and generators. By utilizing IoT Analytics, they were able to derive actionable insights, leading to more efficient operations and predictive maintenance strategies.

In addition, AWS IoT Device Tester simplifies the qualification testing for devices running Amazon FreeRTOS or AWS IoT Greengrass. This automation tool enables silicon vendors and OEMs to ensure their devices interoperate seamlessly with AWS IoT services.
For a more streamlined deployment process and greater flexibility, AWS IoT Greengrass offers enhanced security features. However, note that the previous version, AWS IoT Greengrass Version 1, is no longer receiving updates since June 30, 2023. The updated Version 2 introduces modular applications and improved fleet device management.
Managing IoT devices presents challenges, particularly when it comes to maintaining or enhancing functionality through software updates. Factors such as device diversity and version discrepancies complicate this process. Utilizing Dynamic Thing Groups can help facilitate continuous updates across a range of devices.
For those attending the upcoming re:Invent event, the AWS IoT team will be available to share insights and best practices. Additionally, if you’re interested in training opportunities, check out this excellent resource for further details.
