1. An apparatus for generating a plurality of provisioning data sets for provisioning a plurality of electronic devices, wherein the apparatus comprises:
a processing circuitry configured to obtain a first provisioning data set for provisioning an electronic device and to generate at least one further provisioning data set for provisioning at least one further electronic device by generating at least one copy of the first provisioning data set;
a communication interface configured to output the at least one further provisioning data set for provisioning the at least one further electronic device,
wherein the first provisioning data set comprises a plurality of data elements and wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to replace an adjustable subset of the plurality of data elements of the at least one further provisioning data set with one or more preset data elements, and
wherein the first provisioning data set is a development provisioning data set and wherein the adjustable subset of the plurality of data elements of the at least one further provisioning data set depends on whether the at least one further provisioning data set is a development provisioning data set or a production provisioning data set.
