样例


气温 / 环境传感器

• 若干空调控制单元，每个控制单元3个传感器

• 持续秒级传输温度、湿度、气压更新数据

• 无缝接入云端

rooms/ac/${deviceID}


有了传感数据，我们能做些什么呢？

-当前有多少传感器处于活动状态?

-当前的温度和昨天或者去年相同时间的温度基本相符?

-温度随着时间是如何变化的?

-气压和温度之间是怎样的关系?

-当前传感器读数是否可疑?

-当前传感器是否存在损坏状况?

-今天我们是否需要更换着装?


AWS IoT


AWS IoT: 安全的设备接入

• 多种协议支持的消息网关

数以10亿计的设备或应用可以同时接入，

支持MQTT、HTTP或WebSockets协议接口，

并且还会融入更多主流接口。

• 高度弹性化的Pub Sub Broker

以零配置的方式，高度弹性化的，

完成从1个设备到10亿个设备的链接开通。

• 安全为先

设备和AWS IoT平台之间通过X509 Certs和

TLS v1.2建议双向认证的安全通道


AWS IoT: AWS服务的一大门户

• Device RegistryCloud alter-ego of a physical device. Persists metadata about the device.• Device ShadowsApps and devices can access “RESTful” Shadow (state) that is in sync with the device• Rules and ActionsMatch patterns and take actions to send data to other AWS services or republish


AWS IoT规则引擎

• Rules Engine evaluates inbound messages published into AWS IoT, transforms and delivers to the appropriate endpoint based on business rules. • External Endpointscan be reached via AWS Lambda and Amazon SNS, etc.


规则引擎的灵活性

SQL-like syntaxWhere operatorsInline functionsActions


用于回溯性分析的数据处理


数据的采集

• Devices set up as Things in Device Registry• Each device sends data as JSON via MQTT • One MQTT topic per device: rooms/ac/{deviceID}• Each device has a certificate and access rights to use its topic


数据的存储

• Move all (?) incoming data into permanent storage• Make data available for later analysis:

• Reporting• Billing / Metering• Explorative Analysis• Machine Learning


方法:

• Set up a Rule to Capture & Transform Incoming Data• Define an Action to Store the Data• Query & Analyze the Stored Data


1) Set up a Rule to capture all sensor readings


2) Define an Action to Store the Data

应该选择哪一种存储方案?


Storage Options


Storage Options: Amazon S3

• Actions can directly write into (JSON) files on S3• Very simple to configure, just provide bucket name• Results in 1 file per event

• Lots of small files can be hard to handle• Inefficient when processing with Hadoop/ Amazon EMR

or when importing into Redshift• Useful when you have a very low frequency of events,

e.g. when you only want to log outliers to S3


Storage Options: Amazon S3

• Buffer data using Amazon Kinesis or Amazon Kinesis Firehose to get fewer, larger files

• Buffering, compression & output to S3 is built into Firehose – no other infrastructure needed!

• Kinesis Connector Library can be extended to perform transformation, filter or serialize data

• Additional Control over Buffering & Output Formats • Added complexity: Requires Amazon EC2 workers

running Kinesis Connector Library


Storage Options: Amazon Redshift

• Actions can forward data Amazon Kinesis Firehose

• Buffering & output to Redshift is built into Firehose

• Very easy to setup • Fully managed

• Use Amazon Kinesis as an alternative • More control: Use Kinesis Connector Library to

perform transformation, filter or serialize data • Added complexity: Requires Kinesis Connector

Library etc. to execute on Amazon EC2


Storage Options: Amazon DynamoDB

• Actions can directly write into Amazon DynamoDB• Creates one row per event, can define:

• Hash Key, Range Key and attributes to store• Hash Key = deviceID, Range Key=timestamp…

• Very simple to configure, just provide table & field names

• Adding GSIs and LSIs provides additional flexibility and enables different queries



• AWS Lambda function provides additional flexibility:• Transform data• Write into different/multiple tables• Enrich data with contextual information pulled in from

other sources

• Only able to process one event at a time! (i.e., AWS Lambda –when called from AWS IoT– cannot aggregate events before writing to DynamoDB)


3) Query & Analyze the Stored Data

如何处理分析数据?


3) Query & Analyze the Stored Data


Recommendations

• Want to run a lot of queries constantly? Use Kinesis Firehose to write into Amazon Redshift

• Need fast lookups, e.g., in Rules or Lambda functions? write into DynamoDB, add indices if necessary

• Have a need for heavy queries but not always-on? Use Kinesis Firehose & S3, process with Amazon EMR.


样例


1) Set up a Rule to capture all sensor readings


2) Pump Data through Firehose into Redshift


3) Analyze Data using Amazon QuickSight


实时监控和实时响应


目标

• 当有大幅气温变化的时，发出报警消息

• 采集当前传感读数，并进行可视化分析


1) 设定规则，对传感读数做出响应


1)设定规则，对传感读数做出响应

• AWS IoT Rules • only have access to the current event• cannot take contextual information into account

Consider passing all the data to the Action for evaluation.


2) Process the Data

处理数据的最佳实践?


Processing Options


Processing Options

• 一次调用处理一个单一事件（非批量操作）

• 结合上下文信息，借助其他数据源丰富消息数据

• 执行各类转换操作

• 可任意运行Node.js或Java程序

• 无需管理底层基础设施!


Processing Options

• Great for alerts: Sends push notifications, emails and SMS

• Call other systems via Http Post or Webhooks(AWS or On-Premises)

• SNS Topics support multiple subscribers, incl. AWS Lambda and Amazon SQS


Processing Options

• Great when events arrive with varying frequency

• Buffer data for asynchronous processing• Ensure that no event data is lost• SNS Topics support multiple subscribers, incl.

AWS Lambda and Amazon SQS• Easily deploy SQS workers on AWS Elastic

Beanstalk (or Amazon EC2)


Processing Options

• Provides access to a "rolling window" of event data • Scalable, can consume events from a multitude of different rules / topics / devices • Supports many independent, concurrent readers (&writers) • Multiple processing options:


Processing Options

• Scalable way to connect many different systems to the stream of events, e.g., custom KCL code, Complex Event Processing (CEP) products • Amazon Kinesis is a hub for all stream processing needs


Example:

1. Read last N events from stream 2. Determine maximum and rate of increase since beginning 3. Decide if alert should be sent


Recommendations

• Only care about individual events? Invoke an AWS Lambda Function via Rule / Action

• For sliding window analysis and more flexibility Stream into Kinesis and Run AWS Lambda function

• Use Amazon Kinesis as a Hub for all incoming events.


3) Visualize the Current Metrics

• Managed Amazon Elasticsearchas a service

• Easy & fast indexing of data, well suited for lookups on streaming data

• Easy to use visualization / dashboards using Kibana


智能预测应用


Machine learning and smart devices

• Machine learning is the technology that automatically finds patterns in your data and uses them to make predictions for new data points as they become available


Machine learning and smart devices

• Machine learning is the technology that automatically finds patterns in your data and uses them to make predictions for new data points as they become available

• Your devices + machine learning = smart devices


IoT Use Cases for Machine Learning

• Find potential problems by looking for patterns• Identify engines that are about to break down• Predict when supplies will run out• Spot sensors that report implausible data

• Predict next movement / direction of a connected vehicle• Based on driving parameters & observations from other cars• Predict traffic jams before they occur


Amazon Machine Learning

• Real-time predictions (and batch)• Training & evaluation of machine learning

models• Picks the right model & parameters, helps

build training data


Basic Approach

1. Collect / build training data• Take past data for sensor readings (temperature, humidity,

pressure), not the deviceIDor timestamp, as input• Target: we define which readings are 'correct' or incorrect and add

the target variable's value to the training data.


Basic Approach

2. Train a Machine Learning Model


Basic Approach

3. Create a real-time prediction endpoint for the model


Basic Approach

4. Get predictions for events as they come in


Basic Approach

1. Collect / build training data• Determine input variables & target• Evaluate the data to pick the target value for each set of inputs in the

data2. Train a Machine Learning Model

• Builds a model based on the information in the training data3. Create a real-time prediction endpoint for the model

• Outputs a prediction based on the input variables provided4. Get predictions for events as they come in


Example Use Case: Filter out bad readings

1. Create a training data set based on past data & human evaluation of the data

• i.e., manually review the data and mark incorrect values2. Train a Amazon ML model on this data to predict which

combinations are (in)correct3. Invoke ML model on incoming data to predict correctness4. Alert staff via Amazon SNS push notification


Lambda Function


Recommendations

• Rely on past data / context rather than defining 'rules'

Use Amazon Machine Learning for an easy start

Let real-time predictions drive reaction to patterns in events


总结和展望


总结：AWS IoT + 大数据 + 机器学习


展望: 未来的技术方向?

• 自动化事件处理响应：结合历史数据的分析，比对实时数据的特征，进行预测性分析，并基于预测性分析进行智能化干预

• Semi-supervised learning，Unsupervised learning，Reinforcement learning，Deep learning…
