Components of AWS IOT

• Highly Fault Tolerant Protocol for intermittent connectivity
• Light footprint
• Low n/w bandwidth requirement
• Exchange messages using a publication/subscription model
• One-to-one and one-to-many communications (Broadcast)
• Support over a billion devices without provisioning infrastructure

• Establishes an identity for devices and tracks metadata such as the devices’ attributes and capabilities
• Assigns a unique identity to each device that is consistently formatted regardless of the type of device or how it connects
• Does not expire as long as you access or update your registry entry at least once every 7 years

• The Rules Engine makes it possible to build IoT applications that gather, process, analyze and act on data generated by connected devices at global scale without having to manage any infrastructure
• The Rules Engine evaluates inbound messages published into AWS IoT and transforms and delivers them to another device or a cloud service, based on business rules you define
• The Rules Engine can also route messages to AWS endpoints including AWS Lambda, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon S3, Amazon Machine Learning, and Amazon DynamoDB. External endpoints can be reached using AWS Lambda, Amazon Kinesis, and Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)
• You can create your own rules within the management console or write rules using a SQL-like syntax. Rules can be authored to behave differently depending upon the content of the message
• Rule Engine provides dozens of available functions that can be used to transform your data, and it’s possible to create infinitely more via AWS Lambda

Arduino is a very popular platform. This kit contains a Seeeduino Cloud development board which is fully compatible with Arduino Yun. GROVE Starter Kit has included most frequently used sensors and actuators to turn your ideas into tangible applications with AWS IoT.

Designed for expert makers, entrepreneurs, and industrial IoT companies, the Intel Edison module provides easier prototyping with a fully open source hardware and software development environment. It supports Wi-Fi and BLE 4.0 connectivity. This kit contains eleven selective Grove sensors and actuators for you to track indoor environment as well as to create smart-house applications.

BeagleBone Green (BBG) is a joint effort by BeagleBoard.org and Seeed Studio. It is involved from the open source hardware design of BeagleBone Black and has added two Grove connectors. The kit contains the new BBG, 10 Grove modules as well as step-by-step tutorials to hook them up quickly.

The LinkIt ONE development board is an open source, high-performance development board for prototyping wearable and IoT devices. It comes with all-in-one feature like ARM7 EJ-S™, GSM, GPRS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth BR/EDR/BLE, GPS, Audio codec, and SD card connector on a single development board. The kit enables you to build up cloud computing connected projects that involve communications for smart cities, transportation and logistics.
