AWS integration for Amazon Location Service - Amazon Location Service

AWS integration for Amazon Location Service

Amazon Location Service is integrated with various AWS services for efficient authentication, monitoring, management and development.

Monitor
  • Amazon CloudWatch – View metrics on service usage and health, including requests, latency, faults, and logs. For more information, see Monitor with Amazon CloudWatch.

  • AWS CloudTrail – Log and monitor your API calls, which include actions taken by a user, role or an AWS service. For more information, see Monitor and log with AWS CloudTrail.

Manage
  • AWS CloudFormation – Amazon Location is integrated with AWS CloudFormation, a service that helps you to model and set up your AWS resources so that you can spend less time creating and managing your resources and infrastructure. For more information, see Create resources with AWS CloudFormation.

  • Service Quotas – Use the Service Quotas console and AWS CLI to request changes to your adjustable quotas. For more information, see Manage quotas with Service Quotas.

  • Tags – Use resource tagging in Amazon Location to create tags to categorize your resources by purpose, owner, environment, or criteria. Tagging your resources helps you manage, identify, organize, search, and filter your resources. For more information, see Manage resources with Tags.

Authenticate
  • Amazon Cognito – You can use Amazon Cognito authentication as an alternative to directly using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) with both frontend SDKs and direct HTTPS requests. For more information, see Use Amazon Cognito to authenticate.

  • IAM – AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an AWS service that helps an administrator securely control access to AWS resources. IAM administrators control who can be authenticated (signed in) and authorized (have permissions) to use Amazon Location Service resources. For more information, see Use AWS Identity and Access Management to authenticate.

Value added
  • Amazon EventBridge – Enable an event-driven application architecture so you can use AWS Lambda functions to activate other parts of your application and work flows. For more information, see React to Amazon Location Service events with Amazon EventBridge.

  • AWS IoT – The AWS IoT Core rules engine stores queries about your devices' message topics and enables you to define actions for sending messages to other AWS services, such as Amazon Location Service. Devices that are aware of their location as coordinates can have their locations forwarded to Amazon Location through the rules engine. For more information, see Track using AWS IoT and MQTT with Amazon Location Service.

Developer tool
  • SDKs – Amazon Location Service offers a variety of tools for developers to build location-enabled applications. These include the standard AWS SDKs, mobile and web SDKs. For more information, see SDKs and frameworks for Amazon Location Service.

  • AWS CLI – The AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) is an open source tool that enables you to interact with AWS services using commands in your command-line shell. With minimal configuration. For more information, see AWS Command Line Interface or learn more about AWS CLI.

  • Sample code – Sample code uses AWS SDKs, mobile and web SDKs, MapLibre to demonstrate how you can use Amazon Location. For more information, see samples.

  • Amazon Location Service console – Use the Amazon Location console to learn about APIs, resources, and to get started with a visual and interactive learning tool. For more information, see the Amazon Location Service console.
