AWS IoT Core
AWS IoT Core is a managed cloud service from Amazon Web Services that enables secure, bidirectional communication between Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the AWS cloud. It handles device connectivity, data ingestion, and device management at scale, allowing developers to build IoT applications without managing infrastructure. The service supports protocols like MQTT, HTTP, and WebSockets, and integrates with other AWS services for data processing, analytics, and storage.
Developers should use AWS IoT Core when building scalable IoT solutions that require reliable device connectivity, secure data transmission, and seamless integration with AWS analytics and machine learning services. It is ideal for use cases such as industrial monitoring, smart home systems, and connected vehicles, where managing millions of devices and processing real-time data streams is essential. Learning it is valuable for roles in IoT development, cloud architecture, and data engineering within AWS ecosystems.
