AWS IoT Device Management now supports browser-based SSH via Secure Tunneling
Today, we are pleased to announce the general availability of an IoT Device Management feature, browser-based SSH (secure shell) using Secure Tunneling. Secure Tunneling provides customers a secure connection between source and destination devices that are brokered through a cloud proxy service on AWS. To provide secure bi-directional communication between devices, tunnels are authenticated with the cloud proxy service and data transmitted through the tunnel is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS). With browser-based SSH, customers can open a SSH tunnel to a targeted device directly from the AWS console and use an embedded terminal without the need for a local proxy. This feature simplifies the onboarding experience significantly because customers no longer need to compile and install a local proxy on the operators' device. This streamlined experience allows customers to easily scale their use of Secure Tunneling for remote tasks such as troubleshooting or conducting routine operational maintenance.
