AWS IoT Core adds capabilities to enrich MQTT messages and simplify permission management

The article discusses two new capabilities added to AWS IoT Core: the ability to enrich MQTT messages with additional data and the use of thing-to-connection association for simplifying permission management.

Specifically, the article covers:

• Message enrichment allows developers to augment MQTT messages from devices with additional information from the thing registry, without modifying the devices.
• Thing-to-connection association enables mapping an MQTT client to a registry thing, even if the client ID doesn't match the thing name.
• Developers can leverage registry information in IoT policies, associate device actions with lifecycle events, and utilize features like custom cost allocation and resource-specific logging.
• These new features are available in all AWS regions where AWS IoT Core is present.
