AWS IoT Core

AWS IoT Core now supports the ability to send point-to-point messages to any connected device, providing better visibility into message delivery and lower messaging cost. With the SendDirectMessage API, you can send a message directly to any device connected to AWS IoT Core, and opt-in to receive delivery acknowledgement from the device. Direct messaging is available in all AWS Regions where AWS IoT Core is available, including Amazon China and AWS GovCloud (US).
