Building Next-Gen Consumer Products with AWS IoT Edge Services

Level: 200

As the use of consumer IoT devices in the home and on-the-go, such as wearables like connected headphones or fitness devices, continue to grow, more and more data is being pushed to the cloud, where the latest IoT and machine learning (ML) technologies are enabling new innovations in connected home applications. Many consumer devices must act on data generated locally in order to respond quickly to events, while still using the cloud for management, analytics, and storage. High-performance edge applications rely on the cloud for processing, analytics, storage, and machine learning, but also need to do some processing, like ML inference, close to where data is generated to deliver intelligent real-time responsiveness, and reduce the amount of data transferred. This tech talk provides an overview of AWS IoT edge services, FreeRTOS, and AWS IoT Greengrass, that consumer device manufacturers can use to build, deploy, and manage devices that they can control and operate at the edge.
