UiPath Automation Suite_Community Session_3/3

This session takes the Day 2 installation forward and explores everything that follows-connecting agent nodes to the cluster, unlocking access to the Automation Suite. We’ll also touch on key tips for building a rock-solid active/passive disaster recovery setup, giving you the insights to keep your environment resilient and ready for anything🎉

Agenda:
Continuation of Day 2 installation
Post Installation steps
- Join Agent node to the cluster.
- Accessing Automation Suite.
- Nlog target configurations for Orchestrator e.g. ELK (Nlog targets).
- Configuring external storage.

Considerations in active/Passive DR cluster setup [theory].


Key Takeaways
Clear steps to finalise installation and cluster connectivity.
Practical know-how for log monitoring and storage configuration.
Insights into building a resilient active/passive DR environment.

8. Online Deployment Deployment Types & Capacity Planning AS requires access to internet during installation and while running UiPath products and registry are stored either on UiPath registry or UiPath trusted third party store Access can be restricted using firewall or proxy server by blocking the traffic which is not required by Automation Suite Easier, faster, require less hardware to install and manage Can’t switch from online to offline deployment post installation

9. Offline Deployment Deployment Types & Capacity Planning – Continued… Offline deployment is also known as air-gapped deployment Isolated from internet Requires installation of additional registry to store UiPath Products’ container images and binaries Additional hardware required to upload binaries/registries Increased complexity and time required for installation Can’t switch from offline to online deployment post installation

10. Deployment Options Deployment Types & Capacity Planning – Continued… UiPath provides flexibility to deploy complete Automation Suite platform on containerised platform like: AKS: Azure Kubernetes Services EKS: Elastic Kubernetes Services Openshift Linux Embedded Capacity Planning UiPath offers a capacity planning calculator which will help your determine hardware requirements to set-up Automation Suite. https://docs.uipath.com/automation-suite/2024.10/calculator
