What does AWS offer for these use cases?

  AWS has an IoT platform that offers roughly the same features. They also have "Device Shadowing" which lets you store up some state that behaves as the device when the connection is lost. https://aws.amazon.com/greengrass/ https://aws.amazon.com/greengrass/ also looks interesting if you requires some edge computing services for your IoT devices. I don't actually use either of these platforms currently. I put together an in house platform for the few features I need. Provisioning new device firmware and updating are probably my biggest pains. Yocto is kind of awful as well, but its the best that we have right now.

    What are the big pain points around provisioning new device firmware?

      Giving the device I unique ID, registering it somewhere. Mount the image and inject configuration information. Then you need to build some production worker friendly appliances to actually program your devices.
