Aws Iot Device Simulator

The iot device simulator includes a device simulator api which leverages amazon api gateway to invoke the solution s microservices aws lambda functions.

Aws iot device simulator.

This device simulation solution enables customers to build a large fleet of virtual connected devices widgets from a user defined template and simulate those widgets publishing data at regular intervals to aws iot. You can simulate many devices with the same configuration or invoke multiple lambda functions with unique configurations. The iot device simulator microservices are a series of aws lambda functions that provide the business logic and data access layer for all device simulation operations. The simulator connects to aws iot and publishes data as messages over mqtt.

These microservices provide the business logic to perform operations on virtual devices and device types record simulation metrics and perform administration tasks. You can also monitor individual widgets from the simulator or observe how backend services are processing the data. You can test the functioning of aws iot policies by making changes to your lambda execution role. The simulation engine is powered by aws fargate.

Running the aws cloudformation template. It includes a link to an aws cloudformation template that launches configures and runs the aws services required to deploy this solution using aws best practices for security and availability. Each lambda function assumes an aws identity and access management iam role with least privilege access minimum permissions necessary to perform its designated functions.
