The Internet of Things (IoT) is bringing a world of connected devices and information online. Whether you are creating real-time forecasts with millions of weather sensors around the world or inputing human genomic data from DNA sequencers, Amazon Web Services provides the services, security, and support to connect the Internet of Things on a global scale.
Amazon Web Services provides you instant access to computing power. With over 30 different instance types optimized for RAM, I/O, storage, compute, and specialized graphics chips; you can instantly access the computing power you want without ever ordering, provisioning, or racking a server.
Take advantage of the Amazon Web Services platform to perform big data analytics and meet the challenges of the increasing volume, variety, and velocity of data from any number of devices. For instance, you can use Amazon Kinesis to ingest data from hundreds of thousands of sensors processing hundreds of terabytes of data per hour.
Amazon Web Services provides you the tools to protect your data in transit, and at rest. AWS provides Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control who accesses your data, a Secure Token Service (STS), built in encryption on all of our storage options, services for key rotation, Amazon Cognito for securing your mobile infrastructure, and hardware security modules for tamper-resistant key storage. AWS also provides protected, monitored, and secured facilities where your data is stored so you can increase your data security while moving to the cloud.
Amazon Web Services provides a pay-as-you-go model that means your Internet of Things application never requires you to have to pay large upfront fees or be locked into long-term contracts. AWS also provides multiple pricing models like tiered pricing, Reserved Instances, and an active marketplace for capacity called EC2 Spot Instances to help you best match your application to a cost model that works for you.
As the Internet of Things grows; so will the infrastructure to support it. With Amazon Web Services you can scale your infrastructure on demand. Access to more storage, compute power, and global resources are available just when you need them.

AWS provides for the flexibility to run Internet of Things applications with your choice of tools, programming languages, data management, and infrastructure resources. You can run ActiveMQ, Mosquitto, or any other server to help manage and analyze your IoT application.
User identity, device analytics, and device messaging/notifications are all common parts of an Internet of Things application. Amazon Web Services provides services that take the effort out of these important parts of your application. You can use services like Amazon Cognito, Amazon Mobile Analytics, and Mobile Push to take care of the undifferentiated heavy lifting while you focus on the differentiated benefits of your application and devices.
