Module Objectives

After you complete this module, you will be able to:

Generate an X.509 root CA Certificate using OpenSSL within the Azure Cloud Shell, and then use the root certificate to configure a group enrollment within the Device Provisioning Service.
Generate a device certificate and use it to provision a device to IoT hub.
Use code to access to the device twin properties and perform initial configuration of the device.
Deprovision an individual device from the enrollment group and then deprovision the entire group enrollment.
