Easily and securely connect devices to the cloud. Reliably scale to billions of devices and trillions of messages. AWS IoT is a platform that enables you to connect devices to AWS Services and other devices, secure data and interactions, process and act upon device data, and enable applications to interact with devices even when they are offline.

5. MQTT Protocol
MQTTS vs HTTPS:
93x faster throughput
11.89x less battery to send
170.9x less battery to receive
50% less power to stay connected
8x less network overhead

• OASIS standard protocol (v3.1.1)
• Lightweight, transport protocol that is
useful for connected devices
• Publish-subscribe with topics
• MQTT is used on oil rigs, connected
trucks, and many more critical
applications
• Until now, customers had to build,
maintain and scale a broker to use
MQTT with cloud applications

6. MQTT: device-to-device communication
mydevices/alert

7. MQTT: collect data from a device
mydevices/4
mydevices/4

8. MQTT: aggregate data from many devices
mydevices/#
mydevices/1
mydevices/2
mydevices/3
….
Amazon
DynamoDB
Applications

9. MQTT: update a device
mydevices/4
mydevices/4
