Abstract
Techniques are described for onboarding virtualized network devices to a cloud-based WAN assurance system. For example, a virtualized network device receives, from a network device conductor that manages a plurality of network devices, a registration code for registering with the cloud-based WAN assurance system. In response to receiving the registration code and instructions, the network device sends the registration code to the cloud-based WAN assurance system. The cloud-based WAN assurance system verifies the network device based on the registration code, and assigns a distinct (e.g., unique) device identifier to the network device, and sends the distinct device identifier and a secret key to the network device. The network device uses the secret key to create a new secure connection with the cloud-based WAN assurance system, for streaming telemetry data to the WAN assurance system. The cloud-based WAN assurance system analyzes the network device telemetry data to provide WAN assurance.
