Section titled “Concept”AWS IoT Core securely connects countless devices (sensors, machines) to the cloud and passes their messages back and forth. Devices usually talk using a lightweight messaging protocol called MQTT, and the message broker delivers those messages to the right place. Each device proves its identity with a certificate, and a policy decides what it is allowed to do. A Device Shadow is a cloud copy of a device’s latest state, so you can know its state even when the device is offline. With the rules engine, incoming data can be sent to services such as Lambda, DynamoDB and S3.
