The AWS IoT Thing Type is described using Attributes and Tags.
I created a short video describing this topic.
Sometimes people confuse Attributes and Tags of the Thing Type, so I decided to write how I use them.
I use Attributes to describe the characteristics of connected devices.
I typically use values like:
- firmware version
- hardware version
- vendor
I use Tags to describe the characteristics of AWS infrastructure.
I typically use values like:
- business unit
- product
I hope this clarifies the role of Attributes and Tags of the AWS IoT Thing Type.
