AWS IoT for Beginners: Build and Automate Smart Device Systems

The Internet of Things is transforming how we interact with the physical world, but bridging the gap between hardware and cloud infrastructure can feel overwhelming. This course simplifies that connection by guiding you through the fundamentals of AWS IoT Core. You will gain the practical skills to securely connect devices, manage messaging protocols, and build automated workflows that respond to real-world sensor data. What you will learn: • Understand foundational IoT concepts, protocol standards, and the AWS IoT Core ecosystem. • Configure secure communication between hardware or device simulators and the cloud using MQTT. • Implement AWS IoT Device Shadows to track and control state changes reliably. • Write rules to route sensor data to other cloud services for processing and storage. • Apply modern security best practices, including certificates and policies, to keep your IoT fleet secure. Starting with essential terminology and hardware concepts, you will progress through written explanations, clear code examples, and step-by-step configuration guides to build your first smart system. This course is designed for beginners interested in cloud-connected devices, with no prior hardware or AWS experience required.
