Video 1.3 exploring AWS IoT. In this video, we will learn the following how to get started with the AWS account, understanding the IoT services provided by AWS. In the previous video, we learned about the AWS IoT and its architecture. By now, you should be familiar with the components of the AWS IoT Core. Without much ado, let us dive right into the AWS console. Grab your laptop or PC with an internet connection and go to aws.amazon.com slash free.
Now, if you are a new user, then you can create a new account here. Select Create a new account and fill your details. It's a simple process, which will take around 10 minutes to complete. If you do everything correctly, you will see this on the screen after that You can select a support plan. Amazing offers three types of support plans, the basic plan, the developer plan, and the business plan. In the basic plan, you can access all the customer services for billing and service limit issues documentations and support forums at any time.
In the developer plan, you will be provided with all the features of the basic plan. And also some additional benefits like seven code checks about which we'll get to know within a few minutes and the cloud support associate for assisting you during business hours through email. Whereas in the business plan, you can access a full set of checks and you will be supported with a cloud support engineer to solve your problems any time through email or chat. Wondering what Coach Excel let's find out best practice checks and recommendations are suggestions provided. By AWS trusted advisor, which helps us in optimizing the cost of services, improving the security of our IoT applications, increasing tolerance towards fault and improving the performance of the services. For this course, we will choose the basic plan as we will be using this account, only to explore and build some projects.
If you want to change your plan, then you can upgrade it. Now, sign into the console AWS Management Console. Here you can see various services provided by AWS cloud. Scroll down to find the list of Internet of Things services offered by Amazon. Now, let us briefly learn about each of these IoT services. IoT Core AWS IoT Core is a managed to cloud service, you can get started with AWS IoT Core here.
This is a platform, which allows billions of things to connect and interact easily and securely with other things or devices and various Amazon services like Amazon, s3, Amazon, dynamodb, Amazon lambda, etc, to be IoT applications. Now, let's see a practical example. Imagine that you came home after a long day at work, and the ambient conditions of your living room are automatically adjusted to your liking, and your favorite music starts playing along with coffee. Wouldn't that be a really soothing experience? Given your tiring day at work? You can implement these kinds of automation easily using AWS IoT Core, Amazon free artists arto stands for real time operating system.
Amazon free our toes is an open source operating system which can Next microcontrollers securely to the cloud. It connects lightweight microcontrollers, to the AWS services like AWS, IoT Greengrass, or AWS IoT Core. Amazon free our tools has some predefined configurations like these, which help us in connecting some microcontrollers to the cloud effortlessly. These predefined configurations will contain all the libraries, which are required to connect the microcontroller with the cloud. You can also add some extra libraries here to extend the functionalities, and then create. You can also create your own configurations here and use them or save them for further use AWS IoT one click AWS IoT one click supported devices can directly connect to the cloud and activate the AWS lambda function so that it can perform the actions that must be executed.
Does AWS I'll do one click supported devices, like AWS IoT enterprise button are readily used without writing any software program or configuring them to secure a connection. Amazon has three one click supported devices, which you can buy here. AWS IoT enterprise button, at&t hb M button circum HD M button. If you already have one, then you can connect it to your account by adding the device ID here. You can build the IoT applications easily by just selecting create a new project here. You can also use AWS IoT one click on your mobile by installing the app.
Now imagine that you wanted to have a group lunch with your colleagues at a famous restaurant. Then using AWS IoT one click Enable device like IoT button, you can reserve a table and later you can also rate your experience. So, AWS IoT one click makes it very easy to build such applications for reserving or communicating support, managing and reloading goods or services, AWS IoT analytics. The data that is being collected by things is much more than the data that can be collected by humans. Oil data is not consistent and it is mostly unstructured, which makes it very difficult to analyze without proper tools. So AWS IoT analytics helps in collecting, processing and analyzing huge amounts of IoT data easily.
This will help us in making the most appropriate decisions for our applications. Channels help in collecting the data. Once the messages start flowing through the channels, then the pipelines are used to process this data. And finally, the process data which can be readily analyzed is stored in data stores now How can you analyze the stored data? There are two ways of analyzing this data, data assets, notebooks, data sets and Jupiter notebooks can be used to get quick insights from the data stored. I hope you already know about the Jupiter notebooks.
If not, check out their resources AWS IoT device defender. It's very important to secure the things data and the connection. AWS IoT device defender secures the IoT devices by continuous monitoring. AWS IoT device defender implements various IoT configurations for device identity, encrypting data and authorizing AWS IoT device defender audit monitors, account and device related parameters. You can run these audits on demand or sheduled them to run periodically. Whereas this continuously monitors the security parameters in devices and IoT.
Code for any inconsistency in the behavior of each device. If there are some variations, then device defender will send alerts to AWS IoT console, or Amazon SNS so that we can take actions to fix the security issues. Amazon SNS is a notification service. It also sends an alert if there's any problem with the configuration that may create a security risk, such as a device with an invalid identity certificate, trying to connect to AWS IoT Core, AWS IoT device management, AWS IoT device management integrates with IoT Core to register your connected things here so that you can easily monitor and manage things for security. You can also group all the things send updates over the air, which allows you to reduce the cost and effort to manage things AWS would be even imagine a manufacturing firm which manufactures electronic goods. In a unit, you will have many belts, motors, pipes holders, where each part will need a sensor for continuous monitoring.
Now think about how many sensors should be there to monitor the whole firm a lot. This makes it difficult to monitor everything and detect a failure before it occurs. AWS IoT events continuously evaluates the telemetry data such as the bell speed, motor noise, and applies a conditional logic to understand and recognize patterns and react to the events when critical events occur. This reduces maintenance costs and increases operational efficiency. You can create a detector modal here, create new here, you can drag and drop states like this. States represent all possible states of a thing or device.
Now, we can draw the connection arrows like this and a st transition events. For example, here is a demo. You can go through this here for better understanding of AWS IoT events, AWS IoT Greengrass, imagine that you have a group of devices that need to communicate with each other to work for building a product at your manufacturing site and suddenly the internet connectivity is lost. This can stop your production, but we there is a solution. Yes, we can communicate even without internet connectivity. AWS IoT Greengrass brings IoT group of devices together for communication, even when there is no connectivity to the cloud, the Greengrass associated devices, then AWS lambda, and execute predictive actions locally based on the machine learning models.
It also keeps the device data in sync communicates with other devices without internet connectivity. We can just configure a group of devices here and start communication using AWS IoT Greengrass, AWS IoT sideways. AWS IoT sidewise is now only available in limited preview. Limited preview indicates that the service is provided only for a certain period of time. Access to this limited preview service is granted by filling your details here. You will need AWS account ID in order to apply select AWS account ID.
It will direct you to AWS Management Console, then select support and then Support Center. Now, in the Support Center title bar, you will find the currently signed in account number. You can use this to get inside the AWS IoT sideways Now let's understand that usage of AWS IoT sideways with a real life example, imagine that you have an Ice Cream Factory, the temperature of your cold storage suddenly starts racing, and you know that the ice cream should be maintained at a stable temperature for the best quality. Now, what would you do? You can call a technician and ask him to diagnose the problem. And if he's not the right person to fix the issue, he called the required technicians for fixing it, but do realize the amount of time and the amount of ice cream that is being wasted.
Now, imagine that you have an IoT platform to remotely diagnose the problem and then ask the correct technicians to come and fix the addressed issue. You can use AWS IoT sidewise to identify the breakdown of equipment, processes, production inefficiencies and defects in your products. You can also easily collect structure and Use sensor data from industrial equipment. For this, you have a gateway device which collects data and sends it to the cloud AWS IoT thing graph? Do you want everything at your home? From a simple tube light to a refrigerator connected to make your life simple?
I hope Yes. But did you ever realize how difficult it is to connect devices from different vendors and make them work together. AWS IoT thing graph makes everything very easy. Select Create flow here and give it a name, description and then create flow. Now, it provides a visual drag and drop interface for connecting and coordinating devices and web services so that your IoT applications are built quickly. Formerly, it is a service that makes it easily to visually connect different devices and web services to build IoT applications in this course, We'll mainly focus on IoT Core due to time constraints.
Now I'm going to end this video here. In this video, we'll learn how to get started with the AWS account, understanding the IoT services provided by AWS. In the next video, we will create a budget and billing alert.
