AWS IoT Core: Retrieve Thing Registry Data via Rules

🔧 AWS IoT Core now supports dynamic retrieval of thing registry data directly within IoT rules using the new get_registry_data() inline rule function. You can access device attributes, device type, and group membership to filter, enrich, and route messages — for example, routing lifecycle events or enriching gateway messages with sensor thresholds. The feature is available in all AWS regions where AWS IoT Core is present and can be used immediately via the IoT developer guide and API.

AWS IoT Core adds SET clause and get_or_default() support

🔧 The AWS IoT Core rules-SQL now supports a SET clause to define and reuse variables across SQL statements, simplifying complex queries and ensuring consistent content when values are referenced multiple times. A new get_or_default() function returns fallback values when encountering data encoding or external dependency failures so rules continue executing. These capabilities reduce SQL complexity and improve reliability across regions.

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.
