1. Introduction.

AWS IoT is a managed cloud platform that lets connected devices easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices. AWS IoT 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. With AWS IoT, your applications can keep track of and communicate with all your devices, all the time, even when they aren’t connected.

AWS IoT allows you to easily connect devices to the cloud and to other devices. AWS IoT supports MQTT, a lightweight communication protocol specifically designed to tolerate intermittent connections, minimize the code footprint on devices, and reduce network bandwidth requirements.

This blog guides you thru the configuration steps to connect your SAP PI/PO or SAP Cloud Platform Integration to AWS IoT using the Advantco MQTT adapter.

2. Configure on AWS IoT

Use the AWS Web Console to the following configurations.

2.1. Create a Device in the Thing Registry

Click “Create a thing" –> input a name for device (example: device2) –> click “Created”.

2.2. Create and Activate a Device Certificate

Click Create a certificate –> Click Active –> click “1-Click Certificate create”

Download the certificate and private key.

2.3. Create an AWS IoT Policy

Click “Create Policy” –> input a policy name –> choose value for action (example: iot:*) –> input value for resource (example: *) –> enable “Allow checkbox” –> click “Add statement”
