What is the AWS Partner Device Catalog?
The AWS Partner Device Catalog is the central resource for selecting IoT hardware compatible with AWS services. Every listed device has been tested and certified by AWS for interoperability: the connection to IoT Core, running Greengrass, or using FreeRTOS is proven to work.
The catalog is filterable by use cases, hardware types, and supported AWS services. Each entry contains technical specifications, supported services, getting-started guides, and links to the manufacturer.
For IoT projects, the catalog eliminates the risk of procuring hardware that later turns out to be incompatible. AWS certification guarantees that basic cloud integration works.
Core Features
- Certified Hardware: AWS-tested devices with guaranteed compatibility
- Filterable Search: Find devices by type, service compatibility, and manufacturer
- Integration Guides: Getting-started guides for each device
- Service Mapping: Overview of which AWS services run on which hardware
- Manufacturer Ecosystem: Devices from hundreds of hardware manufacturers
Common Use Cases
Hardware Evaluation: Project teams search specifically for devices meeting their requirements: specific connectivity (WiFi, LTE, LoRa), computing power, or certifications (industrial, automotive).
Proof of Concept: For IoT prototypes, compatible hardware is quickly identified. The included getting-started guides accelerate initial setup.
Standardization: Organizations select standard devices from the catalog for their IoT platform. AWS certification reduces the effort for individual compatibility testing.
Benefits
- Guaranteed compatibility with AWS IoT services
- Reduced risk in hardware procurement
- Broad ecosystem of manufacturers and device types
- Integration guides shorten development time

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AWS Partner Device Catalog?
The AWS Partner Device Catalog is a directory of IoT hardware tested and certified for use with AWS. Manufacturers submit their devices to AWS, which tests them for compatibility with IoT Core, Greengrass, and other services. Certified devices are listed in the catalog with specifications and integration guides.
What types of devices are in the catalog?
The catalog includes single-board computers, connectivity modules, gateways, sensor kits, and edge servers. Manufacturers like Espressif, NXP, Qualcomm, Intel, and many others are represented. The devices cover scenarios from simple sensor connectivity to powerful edge computing.
Does using the catalog cost anything?
The catalog itself is free. Costs apply for hardware procurement from the respective manufacturer or distributor. Prices vary per device from a few USD for simple modules to several thousand USD for industrial gateways.
