Overview of this book

With the rising demand for and recent enhancements in IoT, a developer with sound knowledge of IoT is the need of the hour. This book will help you design, build, and operate large-scale E2E IoT solutions to transform your business and products, increase revenue, and reduce operational costs. Starting with an overview of how IoT technologies can help you solve your business problems, this book will be a useful guide to helping you implement end-to-end IoT solution architecture. You'll learn to select IoT devices; real-time operating systems; IoT Edge covering Edge location, software, and hardware; and the best IoT connectivity for your IoT solution. As you progress, you'll work with IoT device management, IoT data analytics, IoT platforms, and put these components to work as part of your IoT solution. You'll also be able to build IoT backend cloud from scratch by leveraging the modern app architecture paradigms and cloud-native technologies such as containers and microservices. Finally, you'll discover best practices for different operational excellence pillars, including high availability, resiliency, reliability, security, cost optimization, and high performance, which should be applied for large-scale production-grade IoT solutions. By the end of this IoT book, you'll be confident in designing, building, and operating IoT solutions.

Summary

In this chapter, you have learned about IoT device management platforms and solutions, what capabilities and solution building blocks they provide, and how to select the best IoT device management platform or solution for your IoT solutions.

You have also learned about the different device management protocols that are used and supported in IoT device management solutions. You have learned how the LwM2M protocol is the next-generation and industry-leading IoT device management protocol. You also learned how the MQTT protocol is used to build a device management solution besides being used mainly for telemetry purposes.

To get some practical sense of IoT device management solutions, we explored one of them, AWS IoT Device Management. We learned about the different AWS IoT Device Management features, such as device provisioning and registration, fleet indexing and searching services, Fleet Hub, AWS IoT Jobs, and AWS IoT secure tunneling.
