Amazon Web Services Managed Templates for IoT Jobs, a new feature of Amazon IoT Device Management now gives you the ability to deploy common remote operations to fleets of IoT devices directly from the Amazon IoT Console, with no incremental code, and in a standardized manner. Instead of having to manually define your remote operations in a JSON Job Document, you can select from a range of pre-built remote actions, provide relevant inputs, and quickly deploy them to your IoT fleets.
You can use Amazon Web Services Managed Templates for IoT Jobs to deploy seven frequently used remote operations: reboot-device, download-files, install-applications, remove-applications, start-application, stop-application, and restart-application. Jobs created with Amazon Web Services Managed Templates currently work by default on all hardware/software platforms running the Amazon IoT Device Client, namely microprocessor-based IoT devices (x86_64, ARM), and common Linux software environments (Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL). Alternately, if you choose to write your own device-side code, or customize device-code for your hardware platforms, you can use our library of handlers on GitHub.
You will only be charged for job executions deployed to your IoT devices using Amazon Web Services Managed templates (see pricing). This feature is available in the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, as well as the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. Read our documentation to learn how to create a Job with an Amazon Web Services Managed Template, and how this capability works together with the Amazon IoT Device Client. Get started with this feature on the Amazon IoT Console.
