This course is deprecated and won’t be updated. We recommend the Securely Connecting AWS IoT Devices to the Cloud course.

Billions of small, physical devices, such as sensors and actuators, are currently deployed in homes, factories, hospitals, and in other business use cases. This proliferation of devices requires solutions to connect, collect, store, and analyze the data that these devices generate. By using Amazon Web Services (AWS) Internet of Things (IoT), you can build IoT solutions for most use cases across a wide range of devices. Being able to build and administer an IoT infrastructure is quickly becoming the skill set of the future.

In IoT Foundation: Telemetry , the first course in the IoT Foundation Series , you will learn the basic building blocks of an AWS IoT infrastructure. Through the use of a real-world scenario, you will create an IoT device, set up communications, and transform the data from your device. You will create rules to process and move the device data into other AWS services. You will then use analytics to visualize and present your results.

You will learn AWS IoT terminology, concepts, and AWS IoT services through interactive exercises and demonstrations while you build a foundational knowledge of IoT topics and protocols. Through this course, you build your skills to successfully engage with IoT as a solution and progress to the more advanced Foundation Series courses.
