Amazon Web Services (AWS) today announced Amazon IoT, a new service companies can use to hook up with Internet-connected devices and build applications based on them.
Until this point, working with devices, networks, security, data collection to build Internet of Things (IoT) applications has been difficult, Amazon chief technology officer Werner Vogels said at the AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas today.
Amazon IoT comes with a device registry, a rules engine, and a publish-subscribe Device Gateway feature that supports the MQTT protocol, AWS executive Matt Wood said during a presentation on the new tool. There are new C and JavaScript software-development kits to help developers work with the service.

Not surprisingly, AWS is emphasizing how much Amazon IoT can be connected up with many other AWS services, including S3, DynamoDB, Amazon Machine Learning, and Lambda.
This product launch is not unexpected. Fortune reported on Monday that AWS would an announcement of this nature.
Microsoft might have had a hint about this product launch — at its largely virtual AzureCon conference last week, Microsoft announced the availability of Azure IoT Suite, a package of existing tools that can be used to build and run applications drawing on Internet-connected devices. Beaglebone, Freescale, Intel, Raspberry Pi, Resin.io, Seeed, and Texas Instruments were onboard as launch partners for the new Azure Certified for IoT program.
Cisco, IBM, Intel, and other major tech companies have made lots of noise about the Internet of Things in the past few years. Startups have introduced products. (Amazon bought one, 2lemetry, earlier this year.) GE and Salesforce have rolled out tools for working with data from IoT systems. It’s an emerging area, and now AWS has product to sell for it.
