I am doing research into pros and cons of using AWS IoT Core as an MQTT broker vs using the Cirrus Link Ignition Distributor Module.

Can anyone speak to their experiences with them?  
Any feedback is appreciated.

I’ve seen @wes0johnson explicitly recommend _not_ using AWS IoT because it doesn’t work properly with the CL modules: [What MQTT Versions Does Ignition Support? - #3 by wes0johnson](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/what-mqtt-versions-does-ignition-support/46473/3)
