Onboarding for cloud-based management

A cloud-based management system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable on the processor to:
• receive information including identifiers of electronic devices to be onboarded for cloud-based management by the cloud-based management system;
• in response to receiving the information, add the identifiers of the electronic devices to be onboarded for cloud-based management to cloud-based management information;
• receive, from a first electronic device, a request to establish a secure connection between the cloud-based management system and the first electronic device;
• receive, from the first electronic device, a certificate comprising an identifier of the first electronic device;
• confirm, based on comparing the identifier of the first electronic device in the certificate and the identifiers of the electronic devices to be onboarded for cloud-based management contained in the cloud-based management information, that the cloud-based management system is to perform cloud-based management of the first electronic device over the secure connection;
• receive, at the cloud-based management system, health data in a packet from the first electronic device over the secure connection, the packet further containing the identifier of the first electronic device;
• and
• verify that the first electronic device that sent the health data is selected for cloud-based management based on comparing, at the cloud-based management system, the identifier of the first electronic device contained in the packet with the identifiers of the electronic devices in the cloud-based management information.

A method of a cloud-based management system comprising a hardware processor, comprising:

• receiving, at the cloud-based management system, information including identifiers of electronic devices to be onboarded for cloud-based management by the cloud-based management system;
• in response to receiving the information, adding the identifiers of the electronic devices to be onboarded for cloud-based management to cloud-based management information;
• receiving, at the cloud-based management system from a first electronic device, a request to establish a secure connection between the cloud-based management system and the first electronic device;
• receiving, at the cloud-based management system from the first electronic device, a certificate comprising an identifier of the first electronic device;
• confirming, by the cloud-based management system based on comparing the identifier of the first electronic device in the certificate and the identifiers of the electronic devices to be onboarded for cloud-based management contained in the cloud-based management information, that the cloud-based management system is to perform cloud-based management of the first electronic device over the secure connection;
• receiving, at the cloud-based management system, health data in a packet from the first electronic device over the secure connection, the packet further containing the identifier of the first electronic device;
• and
• verifying that the first electronic device that sent the health data is selected for cloud-based management based on comparing, by the cloud-based management system, the identifier of the first electronic device contained in the packet with the identifiers of the electronic devices in the cloud-based management information.
