Is AWS IoT free?
AWS IoT Device Management's free tier includes 50 remote actions per month. The AWS Free Tier is available to you for 12 months starting with the date on which you create your AWS account. When your free usage expires or if your application use exceeds the free usage tiers, you simply pay the above rates.
What is IoT core AWS?
AWS IoT Core enables you to connect devices to AWS Services and other devices, secure data and interactions, process and act upon device data, enables applications to interact with devices even when they are offline and that allows you to produce low-cost Alexa built-in devices.
How do I connect to AWS MQTT?

How do I connect my IoT device?
We can connect to a web server running on our IoT device by entering the IP address of http://192.168.1.45 into the browser url. The connection will be made in this case via the switch built into the home router. The switch knows what port the IoT device is connected to and transmits and receives data via this port.
Where is AWS IoT endpoint?
The AWS IoT device service endpoints support device-centric access to security and management services. To learn your account's device data endpoint, you can find it in the Settings page of your AWS IoT Core console.
How do IoT data send to cloud?
IoT devices are often sensors that collect data and send it to be processed. In the domain of IoT, physical sensors are virtualized before the data is uploaded to the cloud. While IoT devices can generate lots of data, cloud computing paves the way for this data to travel.
Can a device connected to AWS IoT receive messages back from cloud?
AWS IoT Core is a managed cloud platform that lets connected devices easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices. AWS IoT Core can support billions of devices and trillions of messages, and can process and route those messages to AWS endpoints and to other devices reliably and securely.
What are some benefits of AWS IoT Greengrass?
AWS IoT Greengrass enables local processing, messaging, data management, ML inference, and offers prebuilt components to accelerate application development. AWS IoT Greengrass also provides a secure way to seamlessly connect your edge devices to any AWS service as well as to third-party services.
What is an AWS transit gateway?
AWS Transit Gateway connects your Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and on-premises networks through a central hub. This simplifies your network and puts an end to complex peering relationships. It acts as a cloud router – each new connection is only made once.
What is AWS bastion?
A bastion host is a server whose purpose is to provide access to a private network from an external network, such as the Internet. Because of its exposure to potential attack, a bastion host must minimize the chances of penetration.
What is Virtual Private Gateway AWS?
You can use an AWS Direct Connect gateway to connect your AWS Direct Connect connection over a private virtual interface to one or more VPCs in any account that are located in the same or different Regions.

Use cases
AWS IoT customers are building industrial IoT applications for predictive quality and maintenance and to remotely monitor operations.
Case studies
LG Electronics relaunches its IoT platform and saves 80 percent in development costs with AWS IoT.
AWS SDKs
With AWS SDKs, your apps and compatible devices can call AWS IoT APIs and the APIs of other AWS services. This section provides links to the AWS SDKs and to the API reference documentation for the APIs of the AWS IoT Core services.
AWS Mobile SDKs
The AWS Mobile SDKs provide mobile app developers platform-specific support for the APIs of the AWS IoT Core services, IoT device communication using MQTT, and the APIs of other AWS services.
REST APIs of the AWS IoT Core services
The REST APIs of the AWS IoT Core services can be called directly by using HTTP requests.
Prerequisites
The firewalls the remote device is behind must allow outbound traffic on port 443.
Open a tunnel
If you configure the destination when calling OpenTunnel, the secure tunneling delivers the destination client access token to the remote device over MQTT and the reserved MQTT topic ( $aws/things/RemoteDeviceA/tunnels/notify ). For more information, see Reserved topics.
Start the local proxy
Open a terminal on your laptop, copy the source client access token, and use it to start the local proxy in source mode. In the following command, the local proxy is configured to listen for new connections on port 5555.
Start an SSH session
Open another terminal and use the following command to start a new SSH session by connecting to the local proxy on port 5555.
Benefits
Many organizations require multi-factor authentication (MFA) and federated authentication from their VPN solution. AWS Client VPN supports these and other authentication methods.
AWS Client VPN use cases
Unexpected events can require many of your employees to work remotely. This creates a spike in VPN connections and traffic that can reduce performance or availability for your users. AWS Client VPN is elastic, and automatically scales up to handle peak demand. When the spike has passed, it scales down so you are not paying for unused capacity.
