# COMMANDS REST API > **STATUS: DEPRECATED** > This module is deprecated and has been replaced with the [Command & Control](../command-and-control/README.md) module. ## Introduction The commands module utilizes [AWS IoT Jobs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/iot-jobs.html) to issue commands to a device or set of devices, and optionally inspect their execution status. It augments AWS IoT jobs by providing the ability to create Job templates, and enforcing that each requested command adheres to a template before executing. ## Additional Links - [Application configuration](docs/configuration.md) - [Ephemeral Groups](docs/ephemeral-groups.md) - [Presigned URL's Developer](docs/presigned-urls-developer.md) - [Presigned URL's User](docs/presigned-urls-user.md) - [Swagger](docs/swagger.yml)
