Connect Edison to the cloud

[LBaru1]

I am planning to start a project using Edison connected to the cloud and I would like to hear from other fellow users in the community about their experience with the cloud platforms.

- Microsoft Azure

- Amazon Web Services

Hi Iffurab

It depends on which platform you prefer and which programming language you feel more comfortable with.

For http://www.ibm.com/cloud-computing/bluemix/ IBM Bluemix, check the available features on: https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/ IBM Bluemix Docs. This cloud service uses mongodb and mqtt to store and send data. You can develop your apps with Nodejs and json files.

With https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/solutions/iot-suite/ Microsoft Azure, you can use Visual Studio and C# to develop your apps, there are a couple of links it may help you to get started with this platform:

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-dotnet-get-started/ Create an ASP.NET web app in Azure App Service | Microsoft Azure

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-edison-board-microsoft-azure-iot-suite-setup IoT - Setting up the Intel® Edison Board with the Microsoft Azure IoT Suite | Intel® Developer Zone

You can also use nodejs, python or java to develop your apps

For the https://aws.amazon.com/?nc2=h_lg Amazon Web Services, take a look at https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/setup-aws-iot-intel-edison-board IoT - Setting up AWS IoT Device SDK on the Intel® Edison Board | Intel® Developer Zone, where you will see how to install the AWS IoT SDK on your Edison board. With this platform you can use C and Javascript, there are some examples that will help you with this:

https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/aws-iot-intel/tree/master/C/temperature AWS IoT Intel/C example - temperature at master

https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/aws-iot-intel/tree/master/Javascript AWS IoT Intel/Javascript example - groove sensor at master

Thehttps://dashboard.us.enableiot.com/ui/auth# /login Intel Iot Platforms: Cloud Analytics is a very useful tool and you can find in the communities a lot of helpful information regarding this tool.

There are two examples that you can check:

For Arduino: https://github.com/enableiot/iotkit-samples/blob/master/arduino/IoTkit/examples/IoTKitActuationExamp... iotkit-samples/IotKitActuationExample.ino at master · enableiot/iotkit-samples · GitHub

For Nodejs: https://github.com/enableiot/iotkit-samples/blob/master/node/actuation-sample.js iotkit-samples/actuation-sample.js at master · enableiot/iotkit-samples · GitHub

If it is your first time using cloud services, I suggest you to use the Cloud Analytics; it is a simple tool and you can find a lot of information and help in the community.

I hope this information helps and gives you an idea on how to continue with your project.

Regards,

Charlie
