Overview of this book

This book is designed to introduce you to IoT and Raspberry Pi 3. It will help you create interesting projects, such as setting up a weather station and measuring temperature and humidity using sensors; it will also show you how to send sensor data to cloud for visualization in real-time. Then we shift our focus to leveraging IoT for accomplishing complex tasks, such as facial recognition using the Raspberry Pi camera module, AWS Rekognition, and the AWS S3 service. Furthermore, you will master security aspects by building a security surveillance system to protect your premises from intruders using Raspberry Pi, a camera, motion sensors, and AWS Cloud. We'll also create a real-world project by building a Wi-Fi – controlled robot car with Raspberry Pi using a motor driver circuit, DC motor, and a web application. This book is a must-have as it provides a practical overview of IoT’s existing architectures, communication protocols, and security threats at the software and hardware levels—security being the most important aspect of IoT.

Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is an infrastructure service provided by Amazon. It provides cloud computing services. Their services are available in a pay-as-you-go model, which means you just have to pay for what you use.

AWS has dozens of actual physical data centers spread across Availability Zones (AZs) in multiple regions across the world. An AZ represents a single location that contains multiple data centers and a Region is an area that contains multiple AZs in close proximity to each other.

All the services that are provided can be accessed from an AWS account from anywhere in the world. For example, we can start any virtual machine with the operating system of our choice in just a few minutes. There are database services for both SQL (such as MySQL and PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (such as Dynamo DB), storage services such as S3, which can store any kind of data...
