The AWS (Amazon Web Services) Utils module provides utilities and configuration to enable a
Niagara station to interact with certain services within AWS. New features enable a fleet of
Niagara controller stations to be automatically commissioned with MQTT devices and signed device certificates, which automatically
connect to AWS requiring no manual user setup on the controller station. Those devices will also automatically renew their
certificates prior to expiration and remain connected.
Use:
- Using the service within the module, you can register access keys for authenticating with AWS.
- You can configure and execute service specific tasks, such as interaction with the AWS REST endpoints. These tasks may typically
be one-off configuration tasks during station commissioning. Thus, by default access keys are only stored temporarily.
This module also supplies a
Niagara provisioning task to furnish the various stations of your NiagaraNetwork with an AWS MQTT device that can utilize the benefits
of Just In Time Provisioning (JITP).
Prerequisites:
- You have installed the
Niagara 4.13 version.
- You have installed the following modules: awsUtils-rt, awsUtils-wb, awsUtils-ux.
- The station hosting the AWS Service must have access to amazonaws.*.com on port 443 to interact with the REST endpoint.
- All remote target stations require to be at
Niagara 4.13 or higher.
