[![View on Construct Hub](https://constructs.dev/badge?package=%40cdklabs%2Fcdk-aws-iot-thing-certificate-policy)](https://constructs.dev/packages/@cdklabs/cdk-aws-iot-thing-certificate-policy)

An [L3 CDK construct](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/constructs.html#constructs_lib) to create and associate a singular AWS IoT Thing, Certificate, and IoT Policy. The construct also retrieves and returns AWS IoT account specific details such as the AWS IoT data endpoint and the AWS IoT Credential provider endpoint.

The certificate and its private key are stored as AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store parameters that can be retrieved via the AWS Console or programmatically via construct members.
