Abstract: This paper explores integrating Internet of Things (IoT) deployments with edge computing, focusing on Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a key facilitator. It provides an analysis of AWS IoT services and their integration with edge computing technologies, addressing challenges, and practical applications across industries, and outlining future research directions. IoT and edge computing revolutionize data processing by enabling real-time analytics, reduced latency, and enhanced operational efficiency. IoT involves interconnected devices autonomously gathering and exchanging data, while edge computing processes data near its source, decentralizing data processing and minimizing data transmission to centralized servers. AWS facilitates scalable and secure infrastructures for IoT and edge computing. AWS IoT Core manages IoT device connectivity and data ingestion, AWS Greengrass extends AWS capabilities to edge devices, and AWS Lambda enables serverless computing, empowering efficient deployment and scaling of IoT applications. Centralized cloud architectures often struggle with vast IoT data. Edge computing decentralizes data processing, reducing latency, enhancing real-time capabilities, and minimizing bandwidth. AWS ensures secure device connectivity through AWS IoT Core, supporting various protocols for seamless integration with IoT devices. AWS Greengrass allows local data processing and machine learning at the edge, vital for environments with limited connectivity or stringent latency requirements. AWS Lambda supports serverless computing, enabling scalable, event-driven architectures without server management, crucial for fluctuating IoT workloads. In conclusion, AWS advances IoT capabilities at the edge, with practical implementations across industries. As IoT evolves, AWS remains pivotal, innovating to meet dynamic IoT deployment demands.
