Amazon Web Services (AWS) has pulled the beta tag off its Cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) platform.
Making this announcement on its official blog, AWS Chief Evangelist Jeff Barr said: The beta period is over and that AWS IoT is now generally available (from Dec.18) Many AWS customers are already building apps and creating new businesses around IoT.
Here are a couple of examples:
The Philips HealthSuite digital platform collects, analyzes, and stores 15 petabytes of patient data (case study).
Scout Alarm uses AWS IoT to support an ever-growing set of self-installed, wireless home security systems, allowing them to focus on the user experience instead of on the infrastructure.
During the beta, AWS IoT added a pair of features:
- AWS Mobile SDK for iOS now supports AWS IoT (Android support is in the works).
- IPv6 support for exchanging messages between devices and the AWS IoT Device Gateway.
