As more consumer products are embedded with sensors that allow communication and data transfer between the product and the manufacturer, customers need architecture to onboard, protect, and monitor device fleets. In this session, we cover best practices for creating this architecture and use the decisions that were made when creating the AWS smart product solution as a guide. The architecture incorporates AWS IoT Core, as well as AWS Lambda for backend microservices, AWS IoT Analytics with Amazon QuickSight to analyze telemetry data, and AWS IoT Device Defender to audit device configurations. We also show you how to use AWS CDK to create customized deployments.
