AWS IoT Core is an AWS service that allows you to connect and interact with IoT devices. It helps you collect data from these devices and use other AWS services to get the required insights, and perform actions based on that data. AWS IoT Core simplifies the complexity of managing IoT devices and data, enabling you to focus on building innovative IoT applications and solutions. It provides a robust and scalable foundation for connecting, managing, and securing your IoT devices and data in the AWS cloud.
In this Cloud Lab, you'll start with configuring a Lambda function that will be used to log all the data received from the IoT device. After that, you'll create an IoT thing that will be used as an endpoint by the IoT Core to receive the data. You'll then connect and send data to the IoT Core using the created IoT thing. After verifying that your device is now able to send that data to the IoT Core, you'll create an IoT rule to integrate another AWS service, Lambda, with the IoT Core infrastructure. You'll then test the provisioned infrastructure by sending messages to the IoT thing and seeing if the Lambda function is working as required or not.
After completing this Cloud Lab, you'll be able to establish secure communication, set up IoT rules, and seamlessly integrate IoT Core with other AWS services for scalable and event-driven IoT applications.
Here is a high-level architecture diagram of the infrastructure that you will create in this lab:
