AWS IoT is a managed cloud service that enables Internet-connected things to easily and securely interact with each other and the cloud. This session will introduce you to the AWS IoT features, how you can build your IoT solutions on the AWS Cloud, and how to make use of the AWS IoT service even if you are not developing for physical devices, using Amazon Cognito and AWS Lambda for web sockets notifications in the browser. We will dive deep into how the Amazon Web Services platform makes it easy to create applications that interface with the Internet of Things using Python as a first-class language on devices and the back-end. We’ll demonstrate real implementations that use multiple modes of control, from movement and light intensity, to manual and voice control and engage the audience with two-way interactivity with minimal infrastructure to manage.
