Overview
This MIMIC MQTT lab demonstrates integration of Amazon AWS IoT Core and MIMIC MQTT Simulator to produce an out-of-the-box lab for immediate first-time setup and use of dynamically controllable device shadows. By having a quick, successful example, you will short-circuit integration of your own devices into AWS IoT.
This lab sets up within 5 minutes a realistic third-party MQTT-based sensor publishing JSON telemetry that fits the AWS IoT device shadow guidelines. There is no limit to the scalability, but we'll show 1 sensor setup automatically using the AWS API, and then you can try the same yourself on any number in the lab for your requirements.
Highlights
- Get Started with AWS IoT Core in minutes, not hours or days.
- Investigate connectivity configuration to apply to real sensors
- Dynamically change real-time telemetry to device shadows.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

MIMIC MQTT Lab
It worked after I fixed the security group setting. A simple GUI, easy-to-navigate menus, hassle-free and easy-to-use lab with detailed documentation. Also, the telemetry changes on-the-fly were quick and immediate. Quite affordable too, thanks!
