Device Provisioning at Scale

Device provisioning at scale

Part 3 of the Azure training series, Build end-to-end IoT solutions

This portion of the workshop walks through a hypothetical asset-monitoring solution that requires IoT devices with sensors for tracking location, temperature, and pressure to be placed in product transport boxes. When a new box enters the system, it is equipped with the new IoT device. The device needs to be auto-provisioned to the IoT hub using Azure Device Provisioning Service (DPS). When the box arrives, the sensor is removed from the box and needs to be “decommissioned” through DPS. You’ll learn how you can use DPS to enroll many devices automatically and securely using X.509 certificate authentication.

You’ll learn to:

• Generate and configure X.509 CA certificates using OpenSSL.
• Create group enrollment in DPS.
• Configure a simulated device with an X.509 certificate.
• Handle device twin desired property changes.
• Automatically enroll the simulated device.
• Retire group enrollment of the simulated device.
