AWS IoT - Workshop on Internet of Things using AWS

What is the Internet of Things ?
If you think that the internet has changed your life, think again. The IoT is about to change it all over again!” -     — Brendan O’Brien, Aria systems

It’s a global network infrastructure, linking physical and virtual objects using cloud computing, data capture, and network communications. It allows devices to communicate with each other, access information on the Internet, store and retrieve data, and interact with users, creating smart, pervasive and always-connected environments.

What is AWS IoT ?
AWS IoT Core is a managed cloud service that lets connected devices easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices. AWS IoT Core can support billions of devices and trillions of messages, and can process and route those messages to AWS endpoints and to other devices reliably and securely.

About the Workshop
You’ll learn the basic concepts and features of the Internet of Things and build projects utilizing the NodeMCU platform. You’ll discover fundamental concepts of cloud computing, AWS IoT, sensor reading and connecting the NodeMCU to the AWS. You’ll also learn to use the most popular open platforms for managing sensor data from the NodeMCU, how to trigger actuators remotely, how to store data on AWS Server using AWS IoT Core.

Workshop Highlights
•    What “the Internet of Things” means and how it relates to Cloud computing concepts 
•    How open platforms allow you to store your sensor data in the Cloud 
•    The basic usage of the Arduino/NodeMCU environment for creating your own embedded projects at low cost 
•    How to control devices with your Android phone.
•    How to send data to the Internet and talk to the Cloud.
•    Store data on AWS Server using AWS IoT Services
