Amazon Monitron to enable static IP for gateways network configuration

Today, we are excited to launch the ability for Amazon Monitron customers to use a static IP to commission their devices. Our gateway devices securely transfer Monitron vibration and temperature sensor data to the AWS Cloud, where the Monitron service analyzes the data for abnormal machine patterns using machine learning. Today, customers with firewall protection have to allow-list whole subdomains of amazonaws.com to enable this communication between the sensors installed in their factories and the AWS Cloud. Some customer prefer not to allow-list a full domain/subdomain due to security reasons. Others find it challenging due to limitations in their firewall configuration capabilities.
