The IoT SDK will not work out of the box as a Browser script because FileSystem is a system module and it’s not supported by a browser (duh!). You have to “browserify” the sdk by following the instructions there: https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-js#browser

And this brakes the testing of Angular as well… I guess is time to move to GCP.
