Task 1 – Provisioning a ThingsBoard agent with AWS
To successfully receive sensor data from AWS IoT Core, it’s necessary to have a specific thing provisioned in AWS IoT Core, representing ThingsBoard Cloud. This agent is used to subscribe to the MQTT messages published by the target devices.
After creating this specific thing in AWS IoT Core, ThingsBoard needs to adopt the certificates that are generated when this agent is created to gain access to AWS IoT Core. This is a critical step as it enables secure and verified communication between the two platforms.
In essence, the agent is more than just a simple conduit for data. It serves as a service integration anchor point, bridging the gap between AWS IoT Core and ThingsBoard Cloud. It ensures the seamless transfer of data from one point to another, all while maintaining the integrity and security of the information being transmitted. Subscribing to MQTT messages from target devices facilitates real-time communication...
