Google earlier confirmed that it will shut down the IoT Core service in August 2023, allowing existing users to migrate their IoT devices to service platforms provided by other partners.
The IoT Core service built on the Google Cloud platform was originally a managed service for IoT device applications, allowing users to connect numerous IoT devices through the Google Cloud cloud platform and centrally manage them through the cloud platform. It can also record and analyze the captured data.
The IoT Core service was first proposed at the Google Cloud NEXT event in 2018. At that time, the Google Cloud IoT Edge service platform was built with projects such as Edge IoT Core and Edge ML software components. At the same time, the Edge TPU, which combines artificial intelligence computing technology, was launched for endpoint computing to accelerate edge IoT application computing.
However, as Google officially shut downAndroid Things IoT Development ProjectThe announcement that the IoT Core service will be shut down seems to highlight Google's plan to reorganizeIoT Market Development Strategy.
In addition to Google, companies including Microsoft and AWS are currently targeting the IoT application market and launching corresponding edge computing platforms and cloud hosting services to seize larger IoT computing application business opportunities.
