Automation Suite on EKS/AKS installation guide

Last updated Mar 31, 2026

Converting an existing installation to multi-site setup

You can convert an existing installation into multi-site by taking the following steps:

  1. Convert the standalone Automation Suite cluster into the primary cluster. For details, see Converting a standalone cluster into a primary cluster.
  2. Install secondary Automation Suite cluster. For details, see Disaster Recovery - Installing the secondary cluster.
Note:

Ensure that the certificates are the same on the primary and secondary clusters. This check is not performed or enforced automatically.

Converting a standalone cluster into a primary cluster

To convert an existing Automation Suite cluster into a primary cluster of the multi-site deployment, take the following steps:

  1. Update input.json. Add or update fqdn, cluster_fqdn, and enable multisite.

    "fqdn" : "<global traffic manager fqdn>"
    "cluster_fqdn": "<fqdn of the primary cluster>",
    
    "multisite": {
        "enabled": true,
        "primary": true
     }
    "fqdn" : "<global traffic manager fqdn>"
    "cluster_fqdn": "<fqdn of the primary cluster>",
    
    "multisite": {
        "enabled": true,
        "primary": true
     }
    

    For details, see the following documentation: Advanced installation experience. Update the TLS certificate section to configure the new certificate, ensuring it meets the requirements outlined in the section.

    Note:

    It is recommended to keep the FQDN of your existing Automation Suite setup to avoid reconfiguring all your robots.

  2. Reapply the manifest by running the following command:

    uipathctl manifest apply input.json --versions versions.json
    uipathctl manifest apply input.json --versions versions.json
