AWS IoT Backup of infrastructure

Question

Hi,

I would like to ask if there is any workflow  to backup a existing IoT Infrastructure with all things and certificates and settings. I could not find a good workflow expect "do it yourself and store the certs in a DB while you create the devices". I also asked some amazon experts and they did not know a solution from their side but I cant imagine its not possible...

thanks and best regards

Hi,

currently there is no backup/restore feature for AWS IoT Core. When you start to build your own solution you might be able to re-use the [AWS IoT Disaster Solution](https://github.com/awslabs/disaster-recovery-for-aws-iot) partially.

But backup is only the half way, you need also to create a mechanism to restore your AWS IoT Core resources.

Cheers,  
Philipp

Hi,

Our company was not keen on continuing to operate without an automated backup system of our IoT Service. So we made one.

It's a backup and restore system that covers most of the core resources. Feel free to use, critique and contribute - https://github.com/Open-Mind-Developments/aws-iot-backup
