AWS Greengrass can be implemented on a computer or device-based ARM CPU. All devices that are used for AWS Greengrass should be registered to AWS IoT. IoT devices have access to AWS Greengrass and AWS Greengrass needs to be configured in one group so that both the IoT devices and AWS Greengrass can communicate with each other.
