AWS IoT Greengrass v2.16 introduces system log forwarder and TPM2.0 capabilities

AWS announces the release of AWS IoT Greengrass v2.16, introducing new core components for nucleus and nucleus lite. AWS IoT Greengrass is an Internet of Things (IoT) edge runtime and cloud service that helps customers build, deploy, and manage device software at the edge. The latest version 2.16 release includes enhanced debugging capabilities through the system log forwarder component. This component uploads system log files to AWS Cloud Watch, making it easier for developers to troubleshoot IoT edge applications.

The AWS IoT Greengrass v2.16 release also features a new nucleus lite version (v2.3) with TPM2.0 specification support, enabling developers to manage edge device security for their resource constrained devices using hardware-based root of trust modules. The implementation helps developers to scale their IoT deployments with confidence while providing secure storage for secrets and streamlined device authentication.
