Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon company, recently unveiled a new version of its AWS IoT Greengrass edge runtime and cloud service. Version 2.0 comes with a set of pre-built software components, tools for local software development, and new features for managing software on large fleet devices--and it's open sourced under an Apache 2.0 license. It's available on GitHub here.

AWS announced the general availability of Greengrass 2.0 at its ongoing re:Invent virtual conference. Coming more than three years after its version 1.0 release in mid-2017, Greengrass 2.0 bears the burden of high expectations. Greengrass was designed to help users quickly and easily build intelligent device software. It enables local processing, messaging, data management, ML inference, and offers pre-built components to accelerate application development. It also provides a secure way to seamlessly connect edge devices to any AWS service, as well as to third-party services, the company says. Customers use it for their IoT applications on millions of devices in homes, factories, vehicles, and businesses, the company says.
