IoT SiteWise OPC-UA data source simulator

The IoT SiteWise OPC-UA data source simulator component (aws.iot.SiteWiseEdgeOpcuaDataSourceSimulator) starts a local OPC-UA server that generates sample data. Use this OPC-UA server to simulate a data source read by the IoT SiteWise OPC-UA collector component on an Amazon IoT SiteWise gateway. Then, you can explore Amazon IoT SiteWise features using this sample data. For more information about Amazon IoT SiteWise gateways, see Using Amazon IoT SiteWise at the edge in the Amazon IoT SiteWise User Guide.
