Management and control across heterogeneous edge devices of a client network using device abstractions

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors and one or more memories, wherein the one or more memories have stored thereon instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement a device onboarding and integration service for a plurality of clients of a provider network, wherein the device onboarding and integration service is configured to, for a given client:
• instantiate a first device abstraction of an edge device of a remote network of the client, wherein the first device abstraction is configured to emulate the edge device, and wherein the edge device is a first type of edge device from a first device vendor that interacts with other devices using a first application programming interface (API);
• instantiate a second device abstraction that is associated with the first device abstraction, wherein the second device abstraction is configured to emulate the edge device as a second type of edge device from a second device vendor that interacts with other devices using a second API;
• update a state of the first device abstraction based on a state of the edge device;
• in response to the update of the state of the first device abstraction, update a state of the second device abstraction to an updated state based on the update of the state of the first device abstraction;
• and
• cause the second device abstraction to provide, to an application of the remote network of the client in accordance with the second API, the updated state of the second device abstraction.
