Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for template-based onboarding of internet-connectible devices are disclosed. A device onboarding service receives an onboarding request comprising a proof and context of identity (PCI) of an Internet-connectible device (ICD). The service determines an account associated with the ICD based at least in part on the onboarding request. The account is associated with an account policy in an onboarding template that is determined at least in part by an owner of the account. If the PCI is verified against one or more criteria of the onboarding template, then a device configuration is determined based at least in part on the onboarding template. The service sends the device configuration to the ICD, and the ICD's behavior is determined at least in part on the device configuration. The ICD uses the access credentials of the device configuration to communicate with an application in a cloud computing environment.
