Analyzing, Visualizing, and Gaining Insights from IoT Devices

Internet of Things (IoT) devices collect data to keep manufacturing plants running efficiently, manage operating conditions on factory floors, monitor homes and businesses, and more. Understanding how to gather this data and unlock the insights is an important aspect to any solution using Amazon Web Services (AWS).

In this course, you will learn about Amazon QuickSight, Amazon Timestream, Amazon Managed Grafana, and AWS IoT Analytics. You will develop a familiarization of how to analyze and visualize IoT device data using the AWS Cloud.
