AWS Internet of Things (IoT) Device Management

AWS Internet of Things (IoT) Device Management makes it easy to securely onboard, organize, monitor, and remotely manage IoT Devices at scale. This course teaches you to use the features of AWS IoT Device Management in the AWS Management Console and AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), starting with provisioning of single or bulk IoT Devices. You learn to use thing groups, dynamic thing groups, fleet indexing, and search to organize IoT devices logically. Lastly, you learn to monitor and manage IoT devices using fine-grained logging and jobs.
