The pre-configuring of a set of cloud endpoints to connect to a device in response to receiving a request that cloud endpoints be pre-configured for connection to the device. The request is used to identify the set of cloud endpoints that is to be so pre-configured. Then, a pre-configuration instruction is formulated that is structured to be interpretable by each cloud endpoint to establish device-specific connection configuration that is specific to the device. Furthermore, the pre-configuration is structured to assist the respective cloud endpoint to establish a connection with the device upon request of the device. The pre-configuration instruction is then sent to each cloud endpoint in the set of cloud endpoints, causing the pre-configuration to occur. Thus, subsequent connection to the device is more efficient.
