Abstract: A device management service at a provider network may assign a contextual identity to a newly installed device at a client network based on proximity of other devices to the new device. When a new device is installed on a client network, the device broadcasts a request for proximity data. When another device receives the request, it generates proximity data. For example, it may measure a strength of the radio signal received from the new device, which varies depending on how close the devices are. The new device receives proximity data from the other devices on the client network. The new device then transmits the proximity data to a device management service. The device management service uses an algorithm to determine an estimated location of the new device based on the proximity data. The device management service determines a contextual identity of the new device based on the estimated location.

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 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.
