Multi-platform IoT connectivity from embedded devices to AWS services
Strengths
Diverse Hardware and OS Support
Instruction covers multiple platforms including ESP8266, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi using various environments like Mongoose OS, MicroPython, and the AWS IoT Device SDK.
Comprehensive Cloud Service Integration
The path moves from connectivity to data management using SNS, S3, DynamoDB, and Kinesis, including visualization via QuickSight and Timestream/Grafana.
Practical Hardware Guidance
One sampled review suggests that learners receive detailed explanations regarding hardware purchase options to facilitate setup.
Limitations
Instructional Organization Concerns
One signal suggests the AWS environment presentation can be disorganized, making specific topics like Device Shadows harder to follow.
