AWS IoT Analytics Channel Icon

AWS IoT Analytics Channels collect data from various sources, such as AWS IoT Core devices, and prepare it for further processing. Think of it as a pipeline's intake; it ingests your data, and then you can configure it to perform tasks like filtering and cleaning before moving the data to another service, such as an AWS IoT Analytics data store, for analysis and querying. Channels are essential for organizing and pre-processing data streams from connected devices before using the powerful analysis features of AWS IoT Analytics.
