Referring to "IoT" one of the more legitimate "buzzwords" in the industry, Amazon Web Services CEO Andy Jassy on Wednesday introduced a series of new Internet of Things services, including a new operating system for devices that run on microcontroller units (MCUs).
Along with the new OS, called Amazon FreeRTOS, AWS on Wednesday announced a service called IoT one-click to easily create Lambda triggers, AWS IoT Device Management, AWS IoT Device Defender, AWS IoT Analytics, as well as AWS Greengress ML Inference.
"Of all the buzzwords of choice... that we've been working on at AWS, IoT might be delivering the fastest in terms of the actual number of companies doing real work there," Jassy said during the first keynote address at the AWS re:Invent conference. While there's already been significant progress on the IoT front, Jassy said, "We're now just entering a world where the growth in number of [connected] devices is going to be exponential."
