The Importance of Zero Touch Configuration
The idea of "zero-touch-configuration" of devices has been around for a while, notably in the SD-WAN space. In terms of device management in general, the important goal is that of making a device's physical location irrelevant to the device's manager. Ideally any device should never have to be in someone's hands throughout its entire lifecycle, from production line to warehouse to deployed location and so on until the end of the device's normal operations, in order for its configuration to be updated.
