dors , minimizing the amount of technology that must be re-built for each IoT product on the market .
Vendors of IoT platforms do this by focusing on user value to minimize the amount of rework needed to release high quality products . This enables product companies to focus on their value add , and not just common repeatable technology patterns . For example :
Azure – The Azure IoT Suite includes devices , gateways , supporting SDKs and analytical capabilities to automate the movement and analysis of data .
AWS – The AWS IoT Platform supports not only the movement and analysis of data , but also the management of devices and the associated lifecycle of those devices .
Google – Google IoT Solutions are focused on the ability to stream high speed data , at global scale to provide real-time , actionable insight . Google has built a world class network between their data centers to ensure that data connectivity is available between cloud resources and end devices .
Summary
Successful IoT applications are about the ability to connect us to our environment , through devices . The goal is to provide rapid , accurate feedback and opportunity for improvement . IoT possibilities seem unlimited with the advent of the public cloud . Emerging technologies such as serverless computing , analytics @ the edge and machine learning enhance an IoT providers ability to build scalable , secure capabilities , leveraging the platforms that cloud providers have created .
