The document discusses AWS IoT, a managed cloud platform for connecting devices to the internet and to applications. It provides an overview of AWS IoT's key services including device SDKs, device gateway, rules engine, device registry, device shadows, authentication and authorization. It describes how developers can use these services to build scalable IoT applications. The document also shares some pricing information and announces an upcoming AWS developer event in Austin for learning more about AWS IoT and other AWS services.

12. Device Gateway

13. AWS IoT Message Broker

14. MQTT
MQTT vs HTTPS:
• 93x faster throughput
• 11.89x less battery to send
• 170.9x less battery to receive
• 50% less power to keep connected
• 8x less network overhead
Source:
http://stephendnicholas.com/archives/1217
• OASIS standard protocol (v3.1.1)
• Lightweight, pub-sub, transport protocol
that is useful for connected devices
• MQTT is used on oil rigs, connected
trucks, and many more sensitive and
resource-sensitive scenarios
• Customers have needed to build,
maintain, and scale a broker to use
MQTT with cloud applications

15. MQTT

"lights" : { "color": "GREEN" },
"engine" : "ON"
},
"delta" : {
"lights" : { "color": "RED" }
} },

}
Thing
Report its current state to one or multiple shadow
Retrieve its desired state from shadow
Mobile App
Set the desired state of a device
Get the last reported state of the device
Delete the shadow
Shadow
Shadow reports delta, desired
and reported states along with metadata and version

SELECT DATA FROM TOPIC WHERE FILTER
THEN ACTION

34. AWS IoT – SQL Reference
SELECT DATA FROM…
• SELECT *
• SELECT deviceid, temp
• SELECT coords.latitude
• SELECT a.another_level.b
• Returns {“b” : 3}
• SELECT a..b
• Returns {“b” : 3}
{
“deviceid” : “iot123”,
“temp” : 54,
“humidity” : 32,
“coords” : {
“latitude” : 47.615694,
“longitude” : -122.3359976
},
“a” : {
“another_level” : {

35. AWS IoT – SQL Reference
SELECT DATA FROM…
• SELECT deviceid AS client
• SELECT md5(deviceid) AS hashed_id
Substitution Templates
• ${expression}
• ${topic() - md5(deviceid)}
• ${deviceid - temp}
{
“deviceid” : “iot123”,
“temp” : 54,
“humidity” : 32,

“another_level” : {
{“b” : 3},
{“b” : 5}
}}
}
SAMPLE PAYLOAD

36. AWS IoT – SQL Reference
SELECT DATA FROM TOPIC WHERE FILTER
• Like scanning a database table
• Default source is an MQTT topic
EXAMPLES:
• FROM mqtt(‘my/topic’)
• FROM mqtt(‘my/wildcard/+/topic’)
• FROM (‘my/topic’)

37. AWS IoT – SQL Reference
SELECT DATA FROM TOPIC WHERE FILTER
Token Meaning Example
= Equal, comparison color = 'red'
<> Not Equal, comparison color <> 'red'
AND Logical AND color = 'red' AND siren = 'on'
OR Logical OR color = 'red' OR siren = 'on'
() Parenthesis, grouping color = 'red' AND (siren = 'on' OR isTest)
+ Addition, arithmetic 5 + 3
- Substitution, arithmetic 5 - 4
/ Division, arithmetic 8 / 2
