From Some more on AWS IoT. It’s a little difficult to simplify what’s going on, but I think this is pretty good. At the highest level, think of it this way: AWS IoT recieves messages and routes them based on rules to other AWS services
Here’s the basic workflow of AWS IoT. It’s a simplification and leaves out a number of important services, but this is the core of it. Understanding this is to understand what AWS IOT can do … and what it can do for you.
Here’s the workflow:
- your Things send messages
- the Device Gateway receives and authenticates the messages
- the Rules Engine authorizes the messages and then routes them to other AWS services
