Summary

At the end of this chapter, the sensor data has successfully reached AWS IoT Core. However, this is merely the initial step for a cloud service in commercial-grade IoT applications. The raw data now requires further processing. This can involve triggering an immediate alarm if an abnormal event is detected or storing the data for future analysis and visualization.

In the next chapter, you will learn storing, processing, and analyzing this sensor data using various AWS services. We plan to establish two message-routing rules in AWS IoT Core. The first rule will involve AWS Lambda, the premier serverless computing service. If abnormal sensor data is detected, we will request ChatGPT to generate a Python-based algorithm on AWS Lambda, which will trigger an email alert on AWS SNS. The second rule will guide data to AWS IoT Analytics for storage and preparation for subsequent visualization.
