pagent provides a simple tool for automatic cloud provisioning of devices. Typically,
it involves running the provisioning agent on a local-network web-server that is
configured to connect to an (already created) cloud instance. There are three main
components to the flow:
Device: IoT device that needs to be provisioned in the cloud.Cloud: IoT cloud instance that is the ultimate connection endpoint.Agent: The provisioning agent that receives provision requests and does the needful.To accomplish there, there are four main steps:
Request: Device requests provisioning from the local agent.Provision: Local agent provisions the device in the target cloud.Success: Local agent returns success to the source device.Connect: Source device then connects to the cloud.+---------+ +-------+ +-------+
