Provisioning IoT devices at scale - The Demo

Showing is always better than telling. Nicole Berdy joins Olivier on the IoT Show to demonstrate how the Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service can be used to implement zero-touch provisioning of (a lot of) IoT devices.

My question is: how does a device provisioned with dps x509 certs then go to communicate with the hub with said cert.

[@fromeijn]

is the demo (code) already available ?

[@olivierbloch1256]

You can find sample code for simulated devices in the docs: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-dps/quick-create-simulated-device-x509-csharp. Note that there are samples for different languages

[@omprakashgupta9483]

Can we configure multiple iot devices applications running on a gateway ( single hardware ) with a single certificate signed for that gateway.?

[@olivierbloch1256]

Each of the device instance need to have it's own cert. However, when using group enrollment, they would all derive from the same root CA cert. See details in here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-dps/concepts-security#attestation-mechanism

What is the demo script doing? How do the toasters know how to communicate with Azure? The Azure Docs are severely lacking..

[@olivierbloch1256]

The devices are connecting to the Device Provisioning Service in order to be provisioned automatically to the right instance of IoT Hub. You can find details in the docs here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-dps/about-iot-dps
