    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for enrollment of gateway enrollment for Internet-of-Things (IoT) device management. In one example, enrollment credentials are generated that permit functionality limited to enrollment operations. A request to enroll a gateway with the management service is received. The request includes the enrollment credentials, and is received from the gateway. Gateway credentials are generated for authentication of the gateway with the management service. The gateway credentials are transmitted to an application executed by the gateway without being provided to the user by the application. The gateway is authenticated with the management service using the gateway credentials.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides for authentication and/or authorization via persistable identity tokens, so an original identity provider (e.g., a user) does not need to be present upon initiating execution of a task. Examples include requesting a persistable token in exchange for a first live token. Based at least on the request for the persistable token complying with a first set of policies, receiving the persistable token. Based at least on a trigger event, requesting a second live token in exchange for the persistable token. Based at least on the request for the persistable token complying with a second set of policies, receiving the second live token. Based at least on receiving the second live token, initiating execution of a task using the second live token for authentication or authorization, wherein the execution of the task is contingent upon the authentication or authorization.

    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for automating application updates in a virtual computing environment, an update script and a digital signature for the update script are received, where the update script comprises an application update for updating an application installed on the virtual computing environment. The digital signature of the update script is validated using a public key of the virtual computing environment. Provided the digital signature of the update script is validated, the update script is executed to update the application.
