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 cloud applications. It provides device connectivity, data processing, and management capabilities, allowing developers to build scalable IoT solutions without managing infrastructure. The service supports protocols like MQTT, HTTP, and WebSockets for real-time data exchange.
Developers should learn AWS IoT Core when building IoT applications that require reliable device connectivity, data ingestion, and integration with other AWS services like Lambda, DynamoDB, or S3. It is ideal for use cases such as smart home systems, industrial monitoring, and fleet management, where scalability, security, and low-latency communication are critical. Using AWS IoT Core simplifies device management and reduces operational overhead in cloud-based IoT deployments.
