Summary
In this chapter, we explored the best practices for operating and monitoring IoT networks. We discussed the importance of continuous operation, setting KPIs and metrics for success, and monitoring capabilities both on-premises and in the cloud using AWS IoT services. We also looked at several practical exercises that can be used to gain hands-on experience in operating and monitoring IoT networks. These included simulating IoT networks using virtualization, developing AWS Lambda functions to process and analyze IoT data, creating AWS CloudWatch dashboards for IoT metrics, setting up AWS IoT Greengrass groups for edge computing, and using the AWS IoT simulator to test different operating and monitoring strategies.
By learning and applying these best practices and practical exercises, students can develop the skills and knowledge necessary to design, deploy, and manage robust and reliable IoT networks. They will gain experience in using AWS IoT services and tools to monitor...
