Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
IoT Core is the front desk for gadgets — streetlight sensors check in, prove who they are, and talk to the cloud without you inventing a device VPN for every pole. MQ, ElastiCache, and Storage Gateway solve messaging, caching, and hybrid storage — not fleet device connectivity.
Full Explanation
AWS IoT Core is the managed service for connecting and managing IoT devices securely and at scale, including messaging to and from the cloud. Streetlight sensor fleets are a textbook municipal IoT scenario. Amazon MQ, ElastiCache, and Storage Gateway address application messaging, caching, and hybrid storage respectively, not IoT device fleet connectivity.
