Hi all,

I'm struggling to understand how I can establish a connection to my web-server. I'm working on a project, running on a STM32 microcontroller, where it's running a HTTP server. I need to access to that HTTP server from anywhere in the world, but I don't understand how I can achieve that. I've seen that with AWS I can redirect the TCP traffic to a specific device, right? I think that my device has to open a connect to AWS a register to it. After that I need to generate a URL with whom a client can connect to the web server.

Can you help me?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi, Thanks for posting this interesting use-case. We are looking into the same and will add more once we have more data.

As far as I can tell, this does not have anything to do with the CSDK repo and libraries? The CSDK does not include any HTTP server software, only an HTTP client library.

Yes, but I don't need to create a http server. I already have a server that is running on my board. I want to understand how, with AWS, I can contact that server when my board is connected under a private network (without using a public IP + DNS). From what I understood with AWS I can create a tunnel so that, with a public URL I can connect to my private http server that is running on my private network.

Hello @GiulioDallaVecchia, I can recommend a few solutions and technologies with AWS ( AWS direct connect facility ) , but I am afraid my solution might not be the optimal for your usecase For better support with AWS services and how to connect them together I would recommend you to ask that question at: https://repost.aws where it will get much better traction. I will close this issue as we are not the best here to give it its full potential. Please reopen if you have any other question or concern.
