title: AWS IOT - how to simulate a thing to publish an MQTT message to a topic?
body: <p>Apologies if this is a noob.  I am trying to learn the ropes of AWS IOT.</p>
  
  <p>I understand that I can use a client like MQTT.fx to publish messages to a topic in a message broker</p>
  
  <p>I also see that AWS IOT resources console, I can create things, attach certificates, policies, and create rules.</p>
  
  <p>If I create a thing say 'car' using the IOT resources console, is there some way that the console gives where i can have the car publish MQTT messages to a topic?  Or is the only way wiring up the simulate car to an actual device using the SDK.</p>
  
  <p>Like I mentioned, I am aware of publishing through an MQTT client.  I just want to understand how to make a 'thing' I created in the resources console, to publish the MQTT messages to a message broker?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
