IoT, Cloud and Machine Learning: The Building Blocks

This article touches upon the building blocks that are necessary to enable machine learning in the data received from IoT, and how cloud infrastructure can help if we use the power of open source tools effectively. The protocol usually runs over TCP/IP; however, any network protocol that provides ordered, lossless, bi-directional connections can support MQTT. It is designed for connections with remote locations where a'small code footprint' is required or the network bandwidth is limited (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQTT). Figure 1 explains how to connect the device to the cloud. Let's discuss the components in detail in the sections below.
