2.3 IoT Analytics Data Store

Create the IoT Analytics Data Store for your pipeline

A data store receives and stores your messages. It is not a database but a scalable and queryable repository of your messages.

  1. Navigate to the AWS IoT Analytics console.
  2. In the left navigation pane, navigate to Data stores
  3. Create a new data store
    • ID: <yourname>_iotastore. Click Next
    • Choose the Storage Type: Customer Managed Storage, and choose your Data Store S3 bucket created previously (ending in ‘-datastore’).
    • IAM Role: Create New, and give your new IAM Role a name, for example <yourname>-iot-analytics-datastore-role. This will give IoT Analytics the correct IAM policies to access your S3 bucket.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Select JSON as the data format and click Next.
