How could Amazon Web Services interface with battery storage?

AI Thread Summary
To send signals to a battery or any physical device using AWS, a local client application is essential for interfacing with AWS services. This application would send requests to AWS, which would then return responses that the app can use to control the hardware. Examples of similar applications include security cameras that transmit data to the cloud for remote access and smart plugs that connect to the internet for remote control. AWS services are typically utilized for their computing power, similar to how utilities provide electricity. The integration of AWS with local devices enables various functionalities, including monitoring and control.

TL;DR Summary
What type of AWS service could actually be used to interface with a large scale battery storage?
Hi,

So this is a purposely abstract question and no specific details of the battery have been provided. I was wondering what type of AWS service would be appropriate to send signals to a battery (to release or store electricity)? I was looking around on the website and couldn't quite figure out which service would be the most appropriate. This isn't going to be used in reality, just for an idea. Otherwise, the device doesn't even need to be a battery, but just any physical device.

Thanks in advance for any help.

First, I think you'd need a local client app to interface with AWS, The app would send requests to AWS to do something and AWS would return an answer.

The local app could use the answer to act on whatever hardware / software it is interfacing with. Think of using image recognition where an AWS app does the search and returns the result.

Consider the case of security cams, they monitor and record info that is passed onto the web and your security app can view captured videos and get alerts.

Or consider the smart plugs, they connect to the web via your local router allowing your vendor-specific app to control them wherever you are.

However, most folks would use it as part of their business where AWS provides computing power like a utility provides electric power.

Interesting article about an AI writing scandal at Sports Illustrated: https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/29/opinions/sports-illustrated-ai-controversy-leitch/index.html I hadn't heard about it in real-time, which is probably indicative about how far SI has fallen*. In short, the article discusses how SI was caught using AI and worse fake reporter photos/profiles to write game summaries. Game summaries are the short articles that summarize last night's Phillies game. They are so formulaic that...
