Getting started with AWS IoT TwinMaker - AWS IoT TwinMaker

Getting started with AWS IoT TwinMaker

The topics in this section describe how to do the following.

  • Create and set up a new workspace.

  • Create an entity and add a component to it.

Prerequisites:

To create your first workspace and scene, you need the following AWS resources.

  • An AWS account.

  • An IAM service role for AWS IoT TwinMaker. This role is automatically generated by default, when you create a new AWS IoT TwinMaker workspace in the AWS IoT TwinMaker console.

    If you don't choose to let AWS IoT TwinMaker automatically create a new IAM service role, you must specify one that you have already created.

    For instructions on creating and managing this service role, see Create and manage a service role for AWS IoT TwinMaker.

    For more information about IAM service roles, see Creating a role to delegate permissions to an AWS service.

    Important

    This service role must have an attached policy that grants permission for the service to read and write to an Amazon S3 bucket. AWS IoT TwinMaker uses this role to access other services on your behalf. You will also need to assign a trust relationship between this role and AWS IoT TwinMaker so that the service can assume the role. If your twin interacts with other AWS services, add the necessary permissions for those services as well.
