Automation Suite on OpenShift installation guide
Automation Suite overview
Automation Suite enables you to deploy the complete UiPath® automation platform on OpenShift, Red Hat's container orchestration platform.
While OpenShift provides a powerful platform, Automation Suite is compatible with other environments as well:
- If you are interested in deploying Automation Suite in an AKS or EKS environment, see Automation Suite on EKS/AKS Installation Guide.
- If you are looking for our classic deployment experience in a Linux environment, see Automation Suite on Linux Installation Guide.
For an in-depth perspective on each deployment model, see Cross-deployment model feature comparison.
Automation Suite includes:
- The UiPath® server products, with the exception of any new products shipping in Automation Cloud first.
- All shared suite capabilities that enable you to easily configure the integration with existing enterprise systems, such as AD, AAD, or SAML, across all products; a common experience is offered across the suite for the user, tenant, external applications, and license management.
- Common end-user portal.
This document provides documentation for installing Automation Suite on your OpenShift cluster.
Key benefits
Security and compliance
Automation Suite on OpenShift complies with the security context that the OpenShift container platform enforces. Automation Suite also complies with industry-wide security practices such as running as a non-root user and not having administrative privileges. However, Automation Suite does not bundle the OPA policies and the networking policies. If you require these policies, then you can optionally configure them directly.
Prerequisites
Before installing Automation Suite, you must make sure that your cluster meets the infrastructure requirements.
Installation
UiPath® provides the uipathctl CLI tool, which handles operations such as running prerequisite validations and installing Automation Suite on your cluster.
Post-installation management
Automation Suite provides management operations via uipathctl, such as adding new products, updating certificates, configuring Automation Suite in maintenance mode, and monitoring.
Troubleshooting
You can run health checks and tests to help detect issues and whether they are in the infrastructure layer or within Automation Suite.
