Execute AWS IOT jobs in parallel on a single thing

Question

Does AWS IOT support parallel execution of AWS IOT Jobs on a single thing?
Is it possible to implement the following flows:
1. AWS IOT client gets a job from the queue.
2. Client suspends execution of that job (status of the job is IN_PROGRESS)
3. Client consumes another job from the AWS IOT Jobs queue.

From the AWS documentation, it looks like only one AWS IOT job can have IN_PROGRESS status, and it doesn't support multiple jobs IN_PROGRESS

Answer

Client software (SDKs) may not support parallel handling out of the box.If you need parallel execution of jobs , you may need to implement custom logic on the device to manage job execution concurrency and coordination.
