Hi Gary Lynch
K70 is a little old, so the new SDK didn't add it.
In fact, a lot of new Kinetis chip already add the IOT code, eg, AWS IOT with MQTT.
K70 doesn't have the detail code, but I think you can refer to the FRDM-k64 board, you can download the K64 SDK code from this link:
https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/builder
The Middleware select all: 
especially, AWS IOT, freertos, LWIP.
Then generate the code and download it.
You can find the AWS IOT in the folder:
SDK_2.7.0_FRDM-K64F\boards\frdmk64f\aws_examples
The AWS code already contains the authentication.
The direct MQTT with LWIP can be found in the folder:
SDK_2.7.0_FRDM-K64F\boards\frdmk64f\lwip_examples\lwip_mqtt
Please refer to it at first.
If you still have issues about it, please kindly let me know.
Kerry
