Amazon is jumping into the Internet of Things, but not with a physical product. Instead, the company wants to provide the backbone for a world of connected devices by letting developers harness the power of Amazon Web Services. The new AWS IoT, announced today at the company’s re:Invent developer conference, lets developers take advantage of Amazon’s cloud services for their internet-connected devices — everything from lightbulbs and fans to cars and wind turbines. The company says the new service can support “billions of devices and trillions of messages” and focuses on delivering data securely and reliably.
