Introduction In this article, I will explain deploying an EC2 instance using AWS CDK and Python code. I will present how we can pre-configure that instance and execute a custom script during the first boot. The EC2 User Data We can store parameters or scripts as user data. Those scripts will run when during the EC2 instance launch. It is crucial to note that the user data script executes ONLY once during the initial boot.

Embracing Open Source for Industrial IoT Transformation Welcome to the Internet of Things Equation podcast. I’m thrilled to share insights from my latest episode, in which we dive deep into the transformative power of open-source technology in the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). My guest, Jeremy Theocharis, co-founder and CTO of the United Manufacturing Hub, shared invaluable insights into his journey and the innovative approach to IIoT. The Challenge with Traditional Manufacturing Solutions Traditional manufacturing solutions often come with significant challenges.

Let me tell you a story about my recent findings. While building an IoT solution for one of my customers, I realized that the Lambda service was not accessible in the customer’s AWS Account. Since I know how to manage permissions, I decided to add the required privileges to my AWS user. To my surprise, the AWS console still presented the Access denied with UnknownError. That was a bit strange, so I granted myself Administrator privileges to investigate the issue.

Facing the challenges of IoT offerings shutdown?🔌 Our conversation with Aaron Allsbrook, CTO at ClearBlade, delves into the process, challenges, and strategies for migrating IoT platforms without losing momentum.🚀 A critical listen for businesses navigating the volatile IoT landscape. 🎧 Topics covered: IoT Platform Definition: Understanding the practical meaning of an IoT Platform. 💡 Choosing an IoT Platform Provider: Three key pillars to consider when making the decision. 🧐 Business Model Alignment: The importance of alignment between the IoT - Platform provider and the buyer’s business models.

It is critical to design, develop, and test IoT solutions efficiently and effectively. To enable that agility, solution developers require access to telemetry - data that is (or will be) generated by IoT devices. Unfortunately, acquiring that information is more complicated than it might seem. Utilizing hardware prototypes to obtain telemetry data is inefficient for the following reasons: ❌ The hardware and firmware developed are parallel to the backend application, creating dependency and impacting the application development.

Like the steam engine that revolutionized transportation and industry in the 19th century, the Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to transform our world if properly applied. The steam engine, invented by James Watt in the late 18th century, powered the Industrial Revolution, leading to significant advancements in transportation, manufacturing, and agriculture. Similarly, IoT has the potential to revolutionize various aspects of our lives. The Steam Engine was just a piece of hardware that did not provide any value on its own.
