I was at Reinvent last week and attended a few of the IoT presentations. I have no commercial interest in IoT but am interested in tinkering with IoT just as a hobby.
I won a Intel Edison / Seeedstudio IoT kit with an edison already configured with a key pair for aws usage. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0168KU5FK So I guess I will get some experience with this.
They announced both device SDKs and the inclusion of IoT into their standard SDK. I haven't downloaded the latest python sdk (boto3) yet to check if the IoT functions have been added yet.
Their documentation seems to make this more complicated that it should be but I also was handed a Amazon IoT button https://aws.amazon.com/iot/button/ and was able to connect it to my aws account and my home wifi in 2 minutes. I have it sending sns messages to me when I click it. So now I have a reference project that can be inspected for quicker learning.
If you can, get yourself a IoT button from amazon to play with if you are interested in their IoT offerings.
Once boto3 has the IoT sdk I will write a mac os x client for acting both like a device and subscribing to devices.
