provision by claim in ESP32 with Arduino platform

Question

Hello there AWS team!

I'm looking around for the correct way to provision my devices to AWS IoT core.

It seems provision by claim can do the trick, but I'm using ESP32 with the Arduino platform. That means I don't have access to ESP-IDF.

It is possible to do provision by claim in the Arduino environment? if so, can you share me the link or documentation about it

Thanks a lot in advance :)

Hi Juan. Fleet provisioning by claim is performed over MQTT topics: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/fleet-provision-api.html. You can implement this on top of pretty much any MQTT client if you elect not to use the [AWS IoT Device SDK for Embedded C](https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C), although I do recommend you use that. The C SDK is highly portable and you can simply import only the libraries that you actually need. If you do elect to make your own implementation, I recommend you at least use the SDK implementation as a reference:
