Abstract

推薦!

Dirk Didascalou (VP, IoT, AWS) 以 “If you knew the state of every thing and could reason on top of that data…” “What problems would you solve?” 破題，帶出 IoT 兩大用途 Operational efficiency 與 Revenue growth，以及 三個迭代循環進程 Edge and devices, Connectivity and control, Analytics and ML/AI，以此架構介紹當今全球使用 AWS IoT 的現況（上萬客戶、90% Fortune 100、0.5B+ Active endpoints per month、0.5T+ Payload messages per month)，以及 1NCE、Lenovo、Carrier、HITACHI Lumada、Univ of MELBOURNE 等的產界學界案例介紹。

在介紹轉變明日時，開頭就先講 AWS 是跟著客戶一起開發新功能的，並在 AWS 的四個進程變化中帶入顏色，由基礎設施打底之後，往分析與工業方向走。並以五個問題來介紹今年對應的幾個主要功能發布。最後介紹紐澳的 Vector 能源公司做結尾，用 app store 概念介紹能源應用也是滿好讓人理解的好說法。
