About This Architecture

Smart Grid Villa Olimpica integrates AWS cloud services with a multi-layer network architecture spanning SCADA control, LoRaWAN/RF Mesh field devices, and AMI meters across a Colombian microgrid. Data flows from distributed IoT sensors through gateways into AWS IoT Core, then to Kinesis for real-time streaming, Timestream for time-series storage, and SageMaker for predictive analytics, with QuickSight dashboards for operator visibility. The architecture combines on-premises SCADA systems via Direct Connect and VPN with cloud-native security (WAF, Shield, GuardDuty, KMS) and multi-tier network segmentation (DMZ, distribution, access layers) to protect critical energy infrastructure. This design demonstrates hybrid cloud resilience for utility operations, enabling remote monitoring, demand response, and renewable integration while maintaining air-gapped SCADA integrity. Fork and customize this diagram on Diagrams.so to adapt the topology for your regional microgrid, add additional sensor types, or modify AWS service selections. The Transit Gateway and NAT Gateway design supports future scaling to multiple Villa Olimpica sites across Atlantico.

How do you design a hybrid AWS smart grid architecture that integrates on-premises SCADA with cloud IoT analytics while maintaining security and real-time performance?

Villa Olimpica's architecture uses AWS IoT Core to ingest data from distributed LoRaWAN, RF Mesh, and AMI devices, streams it through Kinesis for real-time processing, stores time-series data in Timestream, and applies SageMaker ML for predictive analytics—all secured by WAF, Shield, GuardDuty, and KMS. Direct Connect and VPN Gateway enable secure hybrid connectivity to on-premises SCADA systems w
