Intelligent Workloads at the Edge

Overview of this book

The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed how people think about and interact with the world. The ubiquitous deployment of sensors around us makes it possible to study the world at any level of accuracy and enable data-driven decision-making anywhere. Data analytics and machine learning (ML) powered by elastic cloud computing have accelerated our ability to understand and analyze the huge amount of data generated by IoT. Now, edge computing has brought information technologies closer to the data source to lower latency and reduce costs. This book will teach you how to combine the technologies of edge computing, data analytics, and ML to deliver next-generation cyber-physical outcomes. You’ll begin by discovering how to create software applications that run on edge devices with AWS IoT Greengrass. As you advance, you’ll learn how to process and stream IoT data from the edge to the cloud and use it to train ML models using Amazon SageMaker. The book also shows you how to train these models and run them at the edge for optimized performance, cost savings, and data compliance. By the end of this IoT book, you’ll be able to scope your own IoT workloads, bring the power of ML to the edge, and operate those workloads in a production setting.

Getting hands-on with Fleet Hub architecture

In this section, you will learn how to use the nucleus emitter and the telemetry agent to capture various metrics and logs from edge devices and visualize those through Amazon CloudWatch and AWS IoT Fleet Hub. The following is the architecture that shows the different services and steps you will complete during the lab:

Your objective in this hands-on section includes the following steps, as depicted in the preceding architecture:

  1. Build an operational dashboard using AWS IoT Fleet Hub.
  2. Deploy a nucleus emitter component and collect metrics through the telemetry from the edge.
  3. Deploy a log manager component and stream the logs to Cloudwatch.
  4. Visualize the results on IoT Fleet...
