AWS IoT Core Adds Location Resolution for Sidewalk Devices

📡 AWS IoT Core Device Location now resolves approximate positions for Amazon Sidewalk-enabled devices using inputs such as WiFi access points, GNSS, and Bluetooth Low Energy. The service converts those inputs into geo-coordinates and delivers them to AWS IoT rules or MQTT topics to support asset tracking and geo-fencing without GPS hardware. To get started, install Sidewalk SDK v1.19 or later, provision devices in AWS IoT Core for Amazon Sidewalk, and enable location during provisioning. This capability is available in the AWS US-East (N. Virginia) Region; the Amazon Sidewalk network is available only in the United States.

AWS IoT Core Adds Customer-Managed KMS Keys Support

🔐 AWS IoT Core now supports customer-managed keys (CMK) via AWS KMS, enabling encryption of data stored in IoT Core with customer-controlled keys. When CMK is selected, AWS automatically re-encrypts existing stored data and manages the transition to avoid operational disruption. The feature is available in all Regions where IoT Core is supported and enhances control over key lifecycle — creation, rotation, monitoring, and deletion.
