Communication

API and
Amazon web
services
 Introduction to cloud storage models
 Cloud computing is a transformative computing paradigm that involves
delivering applications and services over the internet
 Popular cloud storage models are,
 Web application messaging protocol(WAMP)
 Xively’s platform-as-a-service(PaaS) which provides tools and services for
developing IoT solutions
 Amazon Web Services(AWS) and their applications for IoT
 Communication API
 Cloud models are relied on communication API
 Communication API facilitate data transfer, control information transfer from
application to cloud, one service to another
 It also exist in the form of communication protocols
 It supports RPC. PUBSUB and WAMP
 Eg. Popular API is RESTful API (communication in cloud model)
 Django web framework is used to implement communication API
 WAMP AutoBahn for IoT
 Web Application Messaging Protocol
 Sub-protocol of Web socket which provides PubSub & RPC messaging pattern
 Transport : channel that connects two peers
 Session : conversation between two peers that runs over a transport
 Client : peers that can have one or more roles
 In publish – subscriber model, client can be:
 Publisher: publisher publishes events to the topic maintained by the Broker
 Subscriber : subscriber subscribes to the topics and receives the events
including payload
 In PRC model, client can be:
 Caller : Issues calls to the remote procedures along with call arguments
 Callee :Executes the procedures to which the calls are issued by the caller
and returns the results back to the caller
 Router : Routers are peers that perform generic call and event routing
 In publish – subscribe model, Router has role of Broker,
 Routes messages published to topic to all subscribers subscribed to the topic
 In RPC model Router has the role of a Broker:
 Dealer : acts as router, routes RPC calls from Caller to Callee & routes results
from Callee to Caller
 Application Code: Application code runs on the Clients(Publisher,
Subscriber, Callee or Caller
 Xively Cloud for IoT
 Commercial Platform as a Service for the Internet of Things
 Supports hundreds of platforms, millions of gateways and the billions of smart
devices
 Comprehensive and secure infrastructure services
 Online development tools and development center
 Xively is an IoTCloud platform
 It is an enterprise platform for building, managing, and deriving business
value from connected products
 It also provides the cloud base API
 It supports platforms and technologies like Android, Arduino, c etc.
 Xively is a Platform as a Service which exposes its service via RESTful
API
 It supports messaging service based on MQTT
 Python Web Application Framework – Django
 Django is an open source web application framework for developing web application in python
 A web application framework is a collection of solutions, packages and best practices that allows
development of web application and dynamic websites
 Django is based on Model – Template- View architecture and provides separation of data model
from business rules and user interface
 It provides unified API to a database backend
 Thus web applications built with Django can work with different databases without requiring any
code changes
 With this flexibility in web application design combined with the powerful capabilities of the Python
language and the Python ecosystem, Django is best suited for cloud application
 Django consists of an object –relational mapper, a web templating system and a regular– expression
based URL dispatcher
 Django Architecture
Model
 Acts as definition of stored data and handles interactions with database
 In a web application, data can be stored in a relational database, non- relational database, an
XML file, etc
 Django model is Python class that outlines variables and methods for particular type of data
Template
 In a typical Django web application, the template is simply an HTML page with a few extra
placeholders
 Django’s template language can be used to create various forms of text files(XML, email, CSS,
JavaScript, CSV, etc)
View
 The view ties the model to the template
 The view is where you write the code that actually generates the web
pages
 Amazon Web Services for IoT
 AWS IoT provides the cloud services that connect your IoT devices to other devices and AWS
cloud services.
 AWS IoT provides device software that can help you integrate your IoT devices into AWS IoT-
based solutions.
  If your devices can connect to AWS IoT, AWS IoT can connect them to the cloud services that
AWS provides.
 AWS IoT lets you select the most appropriate and up-to-date technologies for your solution. 
 AWS IOT core support these protocols:-
 MQTT (Message Queuing and Telemetry Transport)
 MQTT over WSS (Websockets Secure)
 HTTPS(Hypertext Transfer Protocol - Secure)
 LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network)
 The AWS IoT Core message broker supports devices and clients that use MQTT and
MQTT over WSS protocols to publish and subscribe to messages.

 It also supports devices and clients that use the HTTPS protocol to publish messages.

 AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN helps you connect and manage wireless LoRaWAN (low-
power long-range Wide Area Network) devices.

 AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN replaces the need for you to develop and operate a
LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS).
 How the devices and apps access AWS IoT
 AWS IoT Device SDKs:- Build applications on your devices that send messages to and
receive messages from AWS IoT.
 AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN:- Connect and manage your long range WAN
(LoRaWAN) devices and gateways by using AWS IOT for core LoRawan.
 AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI):- Run commands for AWS IoT on
Windows, macOS, and Linux. 
 AWS IoT API:- Build your IoT applications using HTTP or HTTPS requests. These API
actions allow you to programmatically create and manage thing objects, certificates, rules,
and policies.
 AWS SDKs:- Build your IoT applications using language-specific APIs. These SDKs
wrap the HTTP/HTTPS API and allow you to program in any of the supported languages.
