Configuring IoT devices to AWS IoT

In this section, we will configure an IoT device in order to access AWS IoT. Several steps should be taken to complete the registration process:

1. Firstly, we create a thing type. You can perform this task on the Manage | Types menu from AWS IoT Console and then click on the Create button. Fill in the type name and attributes for your IoT device. For instance, we give a thing type as IoT-Device with  name as the thing attribute :

2. After this has been created, you should see it on the Types screen from the AWS IoT dashboard, as shown in the following screenshot:

3. Next, we add three IoT devices into AWS IoT. Navigate to Manage| Things on the AWS IoT dashboard. Then, you add a thing name and its attribute as shown in the screenshot below the table. The following is our configuration of IoT devices:

Device name	Thing name	Thing attribute
Raspberry Pi 3	raspberry-pi	pi01
Arduino Yún	arduino-yun	arduino01
ESP32 board	esp32	esp32-01

4. After we have added three IoT devices, you should...
