Aws Iot Device Simulator

The management console is a salad s3 api gateway lambda and dynamodb application.

Aws iot device simulator.

You can simulate many devices with the same configuration or invoke multiple lambda functions with unique configurations. Running the aws cloudformation template. These microservices provide the business logic to perform operations on virtual devices and device types record simulation metrics and perform administration tasks. You can test the functioning of aws iot policies by making changes to your lambda execution role.

This implementation guide discusses architectural considerations and configuration steps for deploying the iot device simulator in the amazon web services aws cloud. The iot device simulator includes a device simulator api which leverages amazon api gateway to invoke the solution s microservices aws lambda functions. The iot device simulator consists of a management console a simulation engine and api microservices that facilitate the functional areas of the solution. The simulator connects to aws iot and publishes data as messages over mqtt.

This device simulation solution enables customers to build a large fleet of virtual connected devices widgets from a user defined template and simulate those widgets publishing data at regular intervals to aws iot. Each lambda function assumes an aws identity and access management iam role with least privilege access minimum permissions necessary to perform its designated functions. You can also monitor individual widgets from the simulator or observe how backend services are processing the data.
