Amazon IoT Greengrass Version 1 in Amazon Web Services in China

Amazon IoT Greengrass seamlessly extends Amazon onto physical devices so they can act locally on the data they generate, while still using the cloud for management, analytics, and durable storage. Amazon IoT Greengrass ensures your devices can respond quickly to local events and operate with intermittent connectivity. Amazon IoT Greengrass minimizes the cost of transmitting data to the cloud by enabling you to author custom software and Amazon Lambda functions that run on local devices.
