There are several ways to get started with AWS IoT depending on your use case and how you want to integrate the service into your use case. The AWS Management Console provides a web-based interface for accessing and managing all your AWS IoT resources. Programmatic access to AWS IoT is enabled by the AWS CLI and AWS SDK.
To connect your hardware device, sensor, mobile app or a thing use the AWS IoT Device SDK. Choose from one of the AWS starter kits pre-packaged to connect to AWS IoT. In addition, AWS IoT is supported by a wide range of third party tools and gateways.
