Abstract

This tutorial describes how to connect MQTT Engine or MQTT Transmission to Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT Core. With regard to MQTT Engine, AWS IoT does not support guaranteed in order delivery of QoS 0 messages. This is not all that uncommon among horizontally scalable/clustered MQTT Servers. With that, MQTT Engine is capable of 're-ordering' messages that arrive out of order with a special configuration option.
