Bulk registration
You can use the start-thing-registration-task command to register things in
bulk. This command takes a provisioning template, an S3 bucket name, a key name, and
a role ARN that allows access to the file in the S3 bucket. The file in the S3
bucket contains the values used to replace the parameters in the template. The file
must be a newline-delimited JSON file. Each line contains all of the parameter
values for registering a single device. For example:
{"ThingName": "foo", "SerialNumber": "123", "CSR": "csr1"} {"ThingName": "bar", "SerialNumber": "456", "CSR": "csr2"}
The following bulk registration-related API operations might be useful:
-
ListThingRegistrationTasks: Lists the current bulk thing provisioning tasks.
-
DescribeThingRegistrationTask: Provides information about a specific bulk thing registration task.
-
StopThingRegistrationTask: Stops a bulk thing registration task.
-
ListThingRegistrationTaskReports: Used to check the results and failures for a bulk thing registration task.
Note
-
Only one bulk registration operation task can run at a time (per account).
-
Bulk registration operations call other Amazon IoT control plane API operations. These calls might exceed the Amazon IoT Throttling Quotas in your account and cause throttle errors. Contact Amazon Customer Support
to raise your Amazon IoT throttling quotas, if necessary.
