The CloudFormation templates you deployed earlier included a rather complex configuration that was assigned to your EC2 instance the moment it connected to the Greengrass service. Let’s take a look at what this consists of as a jumping-off point for further exploration of what these components can do for you. In the AWS Management Console, […]
ContinueNow that your AWS Snowcone device is configured as an AWS IoT Greengrass v2 Core device, let’s go over what that actually means. Controlling your EC2 instance remotely AWS IoT offers a feature called Secure Tunnel that allows you to remotely connect to a device anywhere in the world from the AWS Management Console. As […]
ContinueThe AWS IoT Greengrass agent can technically run from any computer. It doesn’t matter if it’s a physical or virtual machine, and Greengrass supports a wide range of operating systems. That said, for this exercise, we will be using the AWS IoT Greengrass-validated AMI that you selected to be installed when you ordered the device. […]
ContinueStep 5 – Creating a virtual network interface Before we launch our EC2 instance to host the AWS IoT Greengrass v2 agent, we should create a Virtual Network Interface (VNI) as follows. Replace your_ip and your_netmask with appropriate values for your network:snowballEdge create-virtual-network-interface \ –physical-network-interface-id your_pni_id \ –ip-address-assignment STATIC \ –static-ip-address-configuration IpAddress=your_ip,Netmask=your_netmask In the next example, we’ve chosen […]
ContinueWhen a Snow Family device first boots up, it is always locked. You will need the unlock key and manifest file from the preceding section to unlock the device for use. Step 1 – Installing the AWS Snow CLI client Download and install the AWS Snow CLI client. This is similar to the general-purpose AWS […]
ContinueAWS IoT Greengrass requires several policies and other constructs to be created in your account before you can attach devices to it. This section will walk you through using a set of AWS CloudFormation templates to automate the creation of these backend components. Recommendation – use Linux or install WSL2 All command-line operations shown are […]
ContinueNow that we’ve gone over all of the concepts, you’re ready to start getting your hands dirty. This chapter will show you step by step how to order an AWS Snowcone device and then configure it as an IoT gateway. We’ll cover the following topics: Ordering an AWS Snowcone device Deploying the backend in your […]
ContinueThe following figure illustrates an architecture for an AR application that event attendees with mobile devices can use: Figure 11.15 – Sporting event attendees viewing camera feeds from angles they can’t see AWS Elemental Live offers a series of on-premises hardware appliances that can natively stream live video to other AWS-managed services in the Elemental […]
ContinueWhether it’s a mechanic learning about a new engine type or a medical student observing a simulated surgery, AR provides a significantly more engaging learning environment due to its interactive nature. By overlaying step-by-step instructions, annotations, or even quizzes, these glasses offer hands-on training without the risks associated with real-world mistakes. Here are some examples […]
ContinueLet’s zoom in on the specific use case of emergency response. There is no opportunity for first responders to ensure an appropriately designed Wi-Fi network is in place before responding to a call. Cellular connectivity is a must in such circumstances. The Rokid X-Craft is an example of AR glasses that are appropriate for first […]
