AWS Greengrass €? Same Code In Cloud And IoT



AWS IoT Greengrass provides a containerized Lambda runtime environment for user-defined code that you author in AWS Lambda. Lambda functions that are deployed to an AWS IoT Greengrass core run in the core's local Lambda runtime. Local Lambda functions can be triggered by local events, messages from the cloud, and other sources, which brings local compute functionality to client devices. For example, you can use Greengrass Lambda functions to filter device data before transmitting the data to the cloud.




AWS Greengrass – same code in cloud and IoT



Enables local Lambda functions to make direct calls to AWS services, such as Amazon S3, DynamoDB, AWS IoT, and AWS IoT Greengrass. To use an AWS SDK in a Greengrass Lambda function, you must include it in your deployment package. When you use the AWS SDK in the same package as the AWS IoT Greengrass Core SDK, make sure that your Lambda functions use the correct namespaces. Greengrass Lambda functions can't communicate with cloud services when the core is offline.


Your AWS IoT Greengrass endpoint is your iotHost endpoint with the host prefix replaced by greengrass. For example, the ATS signed endpoint is greengrass-ats.iot.region.amazonaws.com. This uses the same Region as your AWS IoT Core endpoint.


Over-the-air (OTA) update agent capable of handling cloud-deployed, Greengrass update jobs. The agent is found under the new /greengrass/ota directory. For more information, see OTA updates of AWS IoT Greengrass Core software.


Connectors. Predefined serverless applications that run code on the core. Connectors can provide built-in integration with local infrastructure, device protocols, AWS, and other cloud services. For more information, see Integrate with services and protocols using Greengrass connectors.


You are now inside the Docker container. Now go to the logs directory that should be placed inside the /greengrass/v2/logs directory. The log files that helped me the most in debugging my application were the greengrass.log file and the file with the same name as my Lambda function component (in my case P2BCGreenGrassLambda.log). The first contains the general status of the Greengrass runtime and the deployment status; the latter contains what I print to the stdout in my function code.


Avoid the aws.greengrass prefix in your component names. AWS IoT Greengrass uses this prefix for the public components that it provides. If you choose the same name as a public component, your component replaces that component. Then, AWS IoT Greengrass provides your component instead of the public component when it deploys components with a dependency on that public component. This feature enables you to override the behavior of public components, but it can also break other components if you don't intend to override a public component.


With Amazon IoT Greengrass, you can develop code on a local device or in the cloud, and then remotely deploy and manage your software seamlessly on millions of devices without needing a firmware update. You can also organize your devices in groups and deploy and manage device software and configuration to a subset of devices or to all devices at once, simplifying the management and operations of your device fleets.


Amazon IoT Greengrass lets you build IoT solutions that enable devices to connect to the cloud or locally to other devices. Devices that run Linux, including distributions such as Ubuntu and Raspbian, and support Arm or x86 architectures can host the Amazon IoT Greengrass Core. The Amazon IoT Greengrass Core enables the local execution of Amazon Lambda code, Docker containers, or native OS processes. Amazon IoT Greengrass Core can run on individual IoT devices or it can act as a hub that communicates with other devices that are running FreeRTOS or using the Amazon IoT Device SDK.


The introduction of modular, cloud-driven IoT developer services, like Greengrass, was a massive leap forward from the way IoT development was done just a decade ago. The dark days of custom OSes and writing on-device code entirely in C (if you were lucky, otherwise assembly language!) were not that long ago.


Calls subscription handler callbacks in a separate thread, so you can now run blocking code, including additional IPC function calls, in subscription handler callbacks. IPC client V1 uses the same thread to communicate with the IPC server and call subscription handler callbacks.


Even though greengrass is an extension of IoT Core, there is no native rules engine component in the greengrass service, greengrass serves the purpose of eventually sending the data to IoT Core where you can use rules engine to trigger other cloud services.


If you're specifically looking into Lambdas which run on greengrass, these Lambdas are running on your hardware and not the cloud and hence need to be handled by you, either using subscriptions or active invocations (code invoke).


This is because when you create a deployment from the cloud, greengrass service will containerize the greengrass group that you configure and deploy it on the GG core device. Once the container reaches the Core device, it cannot be altered/managed from the cloud unless you make another deployment with modifications.


In the AWS world the Industrial Edge moves from an RTU to a PLC by either writing this code in Lambda functions in Greengrass or by deploying the code in a container in the Industrial Edge device. The Industrial Edge compute capability can be scaled in the same way most PLC modules offer a family of models based on needs.


The Greengrass OTA update agent is the software component on the device that handles update jobs created and deployed in the cloud. The OTA update agent is distributed in the same software package as the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software. The agent is located in /greengrass-root/ota/ota_agent/ggc-ota. It writes logs to /var/log/greengrass/ota/ggc_ota.txt.


When managedRespawn is set to true, the OTA update agent checks the /greengrass-root/usr/scripts directory for these scripts before and after the software update. If the scripts don't exist, the update fails. AWS IoT Greengrass does not validate the contents of these scripts. As a best practice, verify that your scripts function correctly and issue appropriate exit codes for errors.


Our demo shows how a developer can create AWS Lambda microservices, run them on the cloud, and easily extend and execute the same microservices in a container-based architecture in the Cisco IoT gateway portfolio. Cisco has combined industry-leading, IOS-powered IoT gateway platforms with the capabilities of Cisco Kinetic to deliver Kinetic-enabled IoT-gateways that enable partners and developers on this open system. The result is Cisco IoT gateways that securely connect assets, perform edge compute functions written as AWS Lambda microservices, and securely transmit the data to the application in AWS.


"Code running in the field can collect, filter, and aggregate freshly collected data and then push it up to the cloud for long-term storage and further aggregation," Amazon said in a blog post. "Further, code running in the field can also take action very quickly, even in cases where connectivity to the cloud is temporarily unavailable."
