Few years ago, PMI took strategic decision, to migrate our application portfolio, to public cloud in AWS. Migration of existing solutions to the cloud or creating new ones is not always as cost-effective as we could expect. During the session, we will share our best practices related to cost optimization and present how we can utilize AWS Instance Scheduler, to reduce costs, as part of our IaC, using Terraform Module.

AWS offers a number of IoT-related services, but what are the functionalities that are actually available and how would you get started using them? During this talk, we will explore fundamental concepts such as MQTT messaging & topics, onboarding & managing things, thing groups & Device Shadows. I will be showing you simple examples of using these functionalities and how to leverage them in your (non) IoT projects.
