FreeRTOS<\/a>\u00a0 (RTOS==Real Time Operating System) is a miniature operating system that is quite popular used in devices that require minimal processing and minimal built-in software functionality for performing simple tasks. FreeRTOS is used to enable functionality in anything from specialized lightbulbs to motion detectors.<\/p>\n

Amazon is following a Microsoft long-time playbook technique of “embrace and extend”<\/a> with their recent announcement of “Amazon FreeRTOS”<\/a>. They have selected a popular free operating system and extended it in a way that makes using it alongside of their products very compelling.<\/p>\n

By enabling FreeRTOS for IoT, Amazon is creating a low-cost IoT cloud-connected platform for integrating simple devices.<\/p>\n

Amazon is making it easy for devices using FreeRTOS to be able to connect to the cloud, effectively allowing the device to become an IoT-enabled device and to then to transmit and receive data from the cloud using AWS services. It is a single platform that can provide a consistent approach to tough questions like security, deployment and maintenance.<\/p>\n

Amazon said that “Amazon FreeRTOS closes the gap by enabling simplified, secure connectivity to a local gateway such as an edge device running AWS Greengrass or to the Cloud like AWS IoT Core<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
