Amazon IoT in Amazon Web Services in China
Amazon IoT provides secure, bi-directional communication between Internet-connected things (such as sensors, actuators, embedded devices, or smart appliances) and the Amazon Cloud. This enables you to collect telemetry data from multiple devices and store and analyze the data. You can also create applications that enable your users to control these devices from their phones or tablets. Amazon IoT includes Amazon IoT Device Management and Amazon IoT Device Defender. Amazon IoT Device Defender allows you to audit the configuration of your devices, monitor your connected devices to detect abnormal behavior, and to mitigate security risks. It gives you the ability to enforce consistent security policies across your Amazon IoT device fleet and respond quickly when devices are compromised.
