Run managed integrations on Raspberry Pi
Note
This implementation of AWS IoT Hub SDK on Raspberry Pi is a demonstration project intended for learning and testing purposes only and is not intended to be used in production environments. For the purposes of this demo, set the following configurations for development ease:
AWS credentials storage: For demo purposes only, credentials and certificates are stored in an accessible location for easier testing and development. Production environments must use secure storage solutions like AWS Secrets Manager, or Systems Manager Parameter Store. They must implement encryption at rest, and follow AWS IoT security guidelines.
Container privileges: The demo runs with elevated privileges to allow unrestricted access to host resources and simplify development workflows. In production, containers should operate with minimal required privileges.
Network bridge configuration: The demo uses a network bridge configuration that exposes internal network traffic for easier debugging and monitoring. In production environments, implement proper network isolation and segmentation to prevent unauthorized access to internal network traffic.
USB device permissions: Unrestricted USB device access is enabled to facilitate easy connection of development peripherals and testing devices. For production, implement strict USB device controls and validation to prevent device spoofing attacks.
These configurations enable straightforward testing and must notcbe used in production environments. When deploying to production, please follow security best practices to prevent host system compromise and unauthorized access to credentials.
As a prerequisite, you must set up the Sonoff Zigbee USB dongle before setting up the Raspberry Pi.
