The new APIs bolster IoT device management by enabling retrieval of MQTT connection details—including status, session data, and network socket attributes—under granular IAM controls. The ListSubscriptions API aids in listing all topic subscriptions and quality of service levels for connected or offline clients with persistent sessions.

Together with the existing DeleteConnection API, these offer comprehensive MQTT connection management, helping users troubleshoot connectivity, monitor device behavior, and audit subscription patterns across IoT fleets. These APIs are available in all supported AWS regions.
