Techniques for managing edge device provisioning

Abstract

Techniques discussed herein relate to managing aspects of provisioning cloud-computing edge devices. In some embodiments, a user request specifying one or more resources to be provisioned at a cloud-computing edge device may be received by a cloud-computing device operated by a cloud-computing provider. An ephemeral credential may be generated for the edge device and used to determine whether access control policies exist that enable the edge device to access the resource(s). If the resource(s) are accessible, a manifest may be generated in accordance with the user request. The manifest may specify a configuration for the cloud-computing edge device and includes information related to the resource. Operations may be subsequently executed to provision the cloud-computing edge device in accordance with the manifest. However, if the resource(s) are not accessible, the user request may be denied.
