Overview

As of Niagara 4.13, you can use a simplified and quicker way to publish data to AWS IoT via MQTT drivers, provision MQTT connectivity on a series of controllers with zero touch, and renew onboarding for every controller when they come to expire.
Here are the simplified steps that will save you time:
  1. Supervisor: Job creates and registers CA (Certificate Authority).
  2. Provision each controller with the new MQTT device.
  3. Automatically request a certificate from the Signing Service.
  4. Admin user approves request. Certificate is signed (sealed) and delivered.
  5. Connect to AWS IoT.
  6. Certificate will be auto-renewed before expiry.
