In a production scenario, there will be thousands of devices that needs to be on-boarded into an AWS IoT instance. Creating certificates and thing instances for all these devices via the console is not practical or secure.
In this video, we explore Just in time registration - a mechanism that AWS provides to dynamically create thing instances securely by first registering a Certificate Authority. Devices connecting with the CA certificate will be allowed to connect to the instance.
The lambda function and dependencies used for creating the JITR rule is available in the embeddedinn GitHub page at https://github.com/embeddedinn/Just-In-Time-Registration
