Provisioning
Devices are automatically and securely connected to the IoT Hub
service and provisioned with initial configuration
A single device provisioning tenant can provide service for multiple
IoT hubs (in multiple regions)
Customers provide rules and logic to assure the right device is
attached to the right IoT solution (and associated IoT Hub endpoint)
Device provisioning ability is extensible with support for several types
of identity attestation patterns
Ownership based
• Connecting devices to their new owner’s IoT solution based on a sales
transaction
Geolocation based
• Using geolocation logic to connect a new device to the correct, regional IoT
solution
Load balancing
• Across multiple hubs
Re-provisioning
• Based on a change in the device purpose, owner, or sales solution upgrade
