Overview of this book

With the rise of cloud-based computing, deploying IoT systems has become more cost-effective for businesses. This transformation has led to developers and architects shouldering the responsibility of creating, managing, and securing these systems, even if they are new to the IoT technology. The Azure IoT Handbook is a comprehensive introduction to quickly bring you up to speed in this rapidly evolving landscape. Starting with the basic building blocks of any IoT system, this book guides you through mobile device management and data collection using an IoT hub. You’ll explore essential tools for system security and monitoring. Following data collection, you’ll delve into real-time data analytics using Azure Stream Analytics and view real-time streaming on a Power BI dashboard. Packed with real-world examples, this book covers common IoT use as well. By the end of this IoT book, you’ll know how to design and develop IoT solutions leveraging intelligent edge-to-cloud technologies implemented on Azure.

Provisioning Devices with the Device Provisioning Service

Azure Device Provisioning Service (DPS) is a cloud-based service provided by Microsoft Azure that enables the automatic registration and provisioning of devices to an IoT solution. Azure DPS simplifies the task of configuring and deploying IoT devices at scale. With Azure DPS, developers can easily manage the entire life cycle of their IoT devices, from initial provisioning to updates and maintenance.

The service works by providing a secure and scalable way to authenticate and authorize devices before they can connect to an IoT hub. Azure DPS uses industry-standard security protocols such as X.509 certificates and symmetric keys to provide secure communication between devices and the cloud.

In this chapter, you will discover the features of DPS and how to use it to automate your device provisioning. We will be covering the following key topics:

  • Device provisioning at scale
  • Managing device provisioning security...
