What is the best approach for bulk-provisioning LoRaWAN devices in IoT Core.

Question

We use AWS IoT Core as the LNS for our LoRaWAN based systems. We use LPWAN Destinations to route the data to rules that handle the data. In a situation where I need to create thousands of LoRaWAN devices, how would I add them all without entering their credentials one at a time and tearing my hair out? From what I can tell, provisioning templates may not be designed for LPWAN devices like LoRaWAN.

You're correct that the provisioning methods described here are not for LoRaWAN devices: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/iot-provision.html

For AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN, you can bulk provision your devices by automating calls to [CreateWirelessDevice](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot-wireless/2020-11-22/apireference/API_CreateWirelessDevice.html), as demonstrated in this sample: https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-iot-core-lorawan/tree/main/automation/batchregistration
