IoT Core Things Quota

Question

Hello.

I have been searching about what the default quota and limit of "Things" that can be created or have in the IoT Core module is, but I can't find the information.

The above is with the understanding that it is suggested to have only one device associated with a certificate. So, for example, if I have 100 IoT sensors/devices, I should create 100 things objects. However, I cannot find the quota limit that AWS grants, in order to correctly design the architecture of the final solution.

Thanks!

Accepted Answer

There is no limit on the number things, only attributes. A thing with a thing type can have up to 50 attributes. A thing without a thing type can have up to three attributes. For example if you define a LightBulb thing type. All things associated with the LightBulb thing type share a set of attributes: serial number, manufacturer, and wattage. You can have a millions or billions of LightBulbs for this particular thing type.

Thanks for the reply.

I understand that there are no limits on things, certificates and policies. Good news.

What we would have to be careful about is the limits associated with subscriptions per connection (if, for example, each device generates a single subscription), but that goes along another line in the architecture of the solution.

Thank you so much!!
