Summary
In this chapter, you learned about IoT platforms and their capabilities, the solution building blocks that IoT platforms provide, and how to select the best IoT platform for your IoT solutions.
You also learned about MQTT, the most common and well-known IoT application communication protocol.
To get a practical sense of IoT platforms, we took a deep dive into one of those IoT platforms – the AWS IoT platform. In this chapter, you learned about some of the services offered by the AWS IoT platform, including AWS IoT Core, AWS IoT 1-Click, and AWS IoT Things Graph.
In the next chapter, we will continue our IoT journey by covering the IoT device management domain, and we will also cover some of the AWS IoT platform services in that domain, such as AWS IoT Device Management and IoT Device Defender.
