Mastering IOT

By: Colin Dow, Perry Lea

Overview of this book

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the fastest growing technology market. Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being. We’ll begin our journey with an introduction to Raspberry Pi and quickly jump right into Python programming. We’ll learn all concepts through multiple projects, and then reinforce our learnings by creating an IoT robot car. We’ll examine modern sensor systems and focus on what their power and functionality can bring to our system. We’ll also gain insight into cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. The Learning Path will conclude by discussing three forms of prevalent attacks and ways to improve the security of our IoT infrastructure. By the end of this Learning Path, we will have traversed the entire spectrum of technologies needed to build a successful IoT system, and will have the confidence to build, secure, and monitor our IoT infrastructure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: Internet of Things Programming Projects by Colin Dow Internet of Things for Architects by Perry Lea

Cloud services for IoT


There are many cloud services that we may use for IoT development. Some of the biggest companies in technology have thrown their weight behind IoT and in particular IoT with artificial intelligence.

The following are the details of some of these services.

Amazon Web Services IoT

The Amazon Web Services IoT is a cloud platform that allows connected devices to securely interact with other devices or cloud applications. These are offered as pay-as-you-go services without the need for a server, thereby simplifying deployment and scalability.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) services that may be used by the AWS IoT Core are as follows:

  • AWS Lambda
  • Amazon Kinesis
  • Amazon S3
  • Amazon Machine Learning
  • Amazon DynamoDB
  • Amazon CloudWatch
  • AWS CloudTrail
  • Amazon Elasticsearch Service

AWS IoT Core applications allow for the gathering, processing, and analysis of data generated by connected devices without the need to manage infrastructure. Pricing is per messages sent and received.
