Connecting to Amazon IoT FIPS endpoints

Amazon IoT provides endpoints that support the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2. FIPS compliant endpoints are different from standard Amazon endpoints. To interact with Amazon IoT in a FIPS-compliant manner, you must use the endpoints described below with your FIPS compliant client. The Amazon IoT console is not FIPS compliant.

The following sections describe how to access the FIPS compliant Amazon IoT endpoints by using the REST API, an SDK, or the Amazon CLI.

Amazon IoT Core - control plane endpoints

The FIPS compliant Amazon IoT Core - control plane endpoints that support the Amazon IoT operations and their related CLI commands are listed in FIPS Endpoints by Service. In FIPS Endpoints by Service, find the Amazon IoT Core - control plane service, and look up the endpoint for your Amazon Web Services Region.

To use the FIPS compliant endpoint when you access the Amazon IoT operations, use the Amazon SDK or the REST API with the endpoint that is appropriate for your Amazon Web Services Region.

To use the FIPS compliant endpoint when you run aws iot CLI commands, add the --endpoint parameter with the appropriate endpoint for your Amazon Web Services Region to the command.

Amazon IoT Core - data plane endpoints

The FIPS compliant Amazon IoT Core - data plane endpoints are listed in FIPS Endpoints by Service. In FIPS Endpoints by Service, find the Amazon IoT Core - data plane service, and look up the endpoint for your Amazon Web Services Region.

You can use the FIPS compliant endpoint for your Amazon Web Services Region with a FIPS compliant client by using the Amazon IoT Device SDK and providing the endpoint to the SDK's connection function in place of your account's default Amazon IoT Core - data plane endpoint. The connection function is specific to the Amazon IoT Device SDK. For an example of a connection function, see the Connection function in the Amazon IoT Device SDK for Python.

Note

Amazon IoT doesn't support Amazon Web Services account-specific Amazon IoT Core - data plane endpoints that are FIPS-compliant. Service features that require an Amazon Web Services account-specific endpoint in the Server Name Indication (SNI) can't be used. FIPS-compliant Amazon IoT Core - data plane endpoints can't support Multi-Account Registration Certificates, Custom Domains, Custom Authorizers, and Configurable Endpoints (including supported TLS policies).

Amazon IoT Device Management - jobs data endpoints

The FIPS compliant Amazon IoT Device Management - jobs data endpoints are listed in FIPS Endpoints by Service. In FIPS Endpoints by Service, find the Amazon IoT Device Management - jobs data service, and look up the endpoint for your Amazon Web Services Region.

To use the FIPS compliant Amazon IoT Device Management - jobs data endpoint when you run aws iot-jobs-data CLI commands, add the --endpoint parameter with the appropriate endpoint for your Amazon Web Services Region to the command. You can also use the REST API with this endpoint.

You can use the FIPS compliant endpoint for your Amazon Web Services Region with a FIPS compliant client by using the Amazon IoT Device SDK and providing the endpoint to the SDK's connection function in place of your account's default Amazon IoT Device Management - jobs data endpoint. The connection function is specific to the Amazon IoT Device SDK. For an example of a connection function, see the Connection function in the Amazon IoT Device SDK for Python.

Amazon IoT Device Management - Fleet Hub endpoints

The FIPS compliant Amazon IoT Device Management - Fleet Hub endpoints to use with Fleet Hub for Amazon IoT Device Management CLI commands are listed in FIPS Endpoints by Service. In FIPS Endpoints by Service, find the Amazon IoT Device Management - Fleet Hub service, and look up the endpoint for your Amazon Web Services Region.

To use the FIPS compliant Amazon IoT Device Management - Fleet Hub endpoint when you run aws iotfleethub CLI commands, add the --endpoint parameter with the appropriate endpoint for your Amazon Web Services Region to the command. You can also use the REST API with this endpoint.

Amazon IoT Device Management - secure tunneling endpoints

The FIPS compliant Amazon IoT Device Management - secure tunneling endpoints for the Amazon IoT secure tunneling API and the corresponding CLI commands are listed in FIPS Endpoints by Service. In FIPS Endpoints by Service, find the Amazon IoT Device Management - secure tunneling service, and look up the endpoint for your Amazon Web Services Region.

To use the FIPS compliant Amazon IoT Device Management - secure tunneling endpoint when you run aws iotsecuretunneling CLI commands, add the --endpoint parameter with the appropriate endpoint for your Amazon Web Services Region to the command. You can also use the REST API with this endpoint.
