Since you are working with Raspberry Pi, I would recommend you to use AWS IOT Device sdk. Specifically AWS IOT Device SDK for Python or Nodejs. Further using AWS IOT Device SDK :

  1. Register Thing in AWS IOT Console
  2. Register Certificates and Download them
  3. Copy over Certificates to Raspberry PI
  4. Use Sample Application provided in AWS IOT SDK GitHub and connect to AWS IOT and start publishing messages.
