AWS IoT Analytics

2018/04/23 - AWS IoT Analytics - 30 new api methods

Changes  Introducing AWS IoT Analytics SDK. AWS IoT Analytics provides advanced data analysis for AWS IoT. It allows you to collect large amounts of device data, process messages, store them, and then query the data and run sophisticated analytics to make accurate decisions in your IoT applications and machine learning use cases. AWS IoT Analytics enables advanced data exploration through integration with Jupyter Notebooks and data visualization through integration with Amazon QuickSight.
