Amazon introduces the IoT Device Simulator

The IoT device simulator is a solution through which all customers are enabled to create and simulate hundreds of virtual connected devices, without any configuration hassle, physical management of the device or developing time-consuming scripts. This solution will also include a pre-built automotive module through which vehicle telemetry data can be simulated using a powertrain simulator. With the deployment of a device simulator API, the Amazon API Gateway is leveraged for invoking the solution’s microservices. It will provide the business logic for performing operations on virtual devices and other device types, record simulation metrics, and perform administration tasks.  It also deploys Amazon ECS containers which are provisioned by AWS Fargate containing a simulated engine for running simulations.
