Let’s dig deeper into the core AWS IoT Services you need to get up and running with Amazon as your platform provider.
OK, the first step, you will need an AWS Developer Account (get one for free here). Sounds kind of fundamental, but the AWS Account gets you access to all of the services, not just IOT. This is important as AWS services often cross boundaries. For instance, you can use Amazon DynamoDB as the NoSQL storage for your data in connection or a Lambda Function with AWS IoT Services.
At this point you have all of the tools you need to blast off with Amazon’s AWS IoT services.
