aws-iot-greengrass

Overview

AWS IoT Greengrass is an edge runtime for IoT devices. This skill covers experimentation and quick start scenarios in containerized environments — not production deployments.

Two runtimes are available:

• Greengrass Nucleus — Full Java runtime with complete component lifecycle management and IPC support
• Greengrass Nucleus Lite — Lightweight C runtime for constrained devices (<5MB RAM), optimized for minimal footprint

When a user doesn't specify which runtime, always ask before proceeding.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Setting up Greengrass Nucleus or Lite in containers for experimentation
• Creating or deploying custom IoT components
• Migrating Greengrass V1 Lambda functions to V2 components
• Troubleshooting Greengrass container or component issues
• Working with Greengrass IPC, MQTT, or component recipes
