AWS IoT Thing, Certificate, and Policy Construct Library
The APIs of higher level constructs in this module are experimental and under active development. They are subject to non-backward compatible changes or removal in any future version. These are not subject to the Semantic Versioning model and breaking changes will be announced in the release notes. This means that while you may use them, you may need to update your source code when upgrading to a newer version of this package.
An L3 CDK construct to create and associate a singular AWS IoT Thing, Certificate, and IoT Policy. The construct also retrieves and returns AWS IoT account specific details such as the AWS IoT data endpoint and the AWS IoT Credential provider endpoint.
The certificate and its private key are stored as AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store parameters that can be retrieved via the AWS Console or programmatically via construct members.
