AAWS IoT Device Management

Jobs, fleet indexing and signed artifacts as AWS primitives — powerful, and entirely your problem to assemble.

How it works
Not an OTA product but a set of pieces: Jobs delivers instructions to device groups, Fleet Indexing finds targets, Code Signing signs artifacts, and the device agent you write does the actual updating. Rollout controls and abort thresholds are good; the update logic is yours.

Strengths

  • Scales without a pricing conversation
  • Fits existing AWS identity, storage and logging
  • Strong staged rollout and abort controls
  • No per-device licence

Trade-offs

  • You build the device-side updater yourself
  • Costs are spread across several services and hard to predict
  • Deep coupling to one cloud
