Overview of this book

The Internet of Things market increased a lot in the past few years and IoT development and its adoption have showed an upward trend. Analysis and predictions say that Enterprise IoT platforms are the future of IoT. AWS IoT is currently leading the market with its wide range of device support SDKs and versatile management console. This book initially introduces you to the IoT platforms, and how it makes our IoT development easy. It then covers the complete AWS IoT Suite and how it can be used to develop secure communication between internet-connected things such as sensors, actuators, embedded devices, smart applications, and so on. The book also covers the various modules of AWS: AWS Greengrass, AWS device SDKs, AWS IoT Platform, AWS Button, AWS Management consoles, AWS-related CLI, and API references, all with practical use cases. Near the end, the book supplies security-related best practices to make bi-directional communication more secure. When you've finished this book, you'll be up-and-running with the AWS IoT Suite, and building IoT projects.

Deploying AWS Greengrass on Raspberry Pi 3


In this section, we will deploy AWS Greengrass on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. To implement AWS Greengrass deployment, we have the Raspberry Pi 3 board and an active AWS account. There are several steps to deploy AWS Greengrass on Raspberry Pi 3. Perform the following steps:

  1. Prepare Raspberry Pi 3
  2. Configure Raspberry Pi 3 and other IoT devices to AWS IoT
  3. Install AWS Greengrass

These steps will be explained in the following sections.

Preparing Raspberry Pi 3

The Raspberry Pi 3 board can run on several OSes. A list of supported OSes for Raspberry Pi 3 can be found at https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/. To work with AWS Greengrass Core, it is recommended that you install the latest Raspbian Linux OS for Raspberry Pi, which can be found at https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/. For a refresher on installation on Raspberry Pi 3, I recommend you follow the instructions mentioned at https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images...
