Abstract

Disclosed are various examples for gateway onboarding for IoT device management. In one embodiment, activation of a gateway is initiated by transmission of a request to activate the gateway to a network address. The request to activate the gateway includes a gateway identifier that uniquely identifies the gateway. A gateway enrollment agent is received. Enrollment of the gateway with the management service is performed using the gateway enrollment agent. The enrollment includes a transmission of a request to enroll the gateway to a management service address and an installation of an enrollment policy received from the management service. The gateway enrollment agent is updated to a gateway management agent that includes an ability to install at least one IoT device management product.
