Hands-On Industrial Internet of Things

AWS will deploy the package on the edge side, using the Greengrass runtime. The Greengrass runtime supports Java, Node.js, and Python. After deployment, Greengrass starts sending data to the cloud via the standard IoT Core endpoint. To configure Greengrass with OPC UA, we need to carry out the following steps:

1. Build the Greengrass ...
