Proxy

Reference for proxy configuration options and allowlist requirements for deploying Automation Suite on EKS/AKS in a proxy environment.

To deploy Automation Suite in a proxy configuration, you must configure your cluster and add all UiPath® required domains to an allowlist in your network proxy.

A proxy configuration is required only if you perform an online installation.

Important:

Automation Suite does not support the IPv6 internet protocol.

Configuring the cluster

For instructions on how to configure the cluster worker nodes in proxy mode, refer to the Microsoft or AWS documentation:

• AWS - Automate HTTP proxy configuration for Amazon EKS containerd nodes
• Microsoft - Configuring Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) nodes with an HTTP proxy - Azure Kubernetes Service

When configuring the cluster nodes in proxy mode, make sure to add the following domains to the no_proxy list:

• EKS

  "$VPC_CIDR,$SERVICE_CIDR, localhost,127.0.0.1,169.254.169.254,<clusterfqdn>,.<clusterfqdn>,.internal,.eks.amazonaws.com,.cloudfront.net,s3.CLOUD_REGION.amazonaws.com,.s3.CLOUD_REGION.amazonaws.com,.dkr.ecr.CLOUD_REGION.amazonaws.com,ec2.CLOUD_REGION.amazonaws.com,api.ecr.CLOUD_REGION.amazonaws.com,.elb.amazonaws.com,.gr7.CLOUD_REGION.eks.amazonaws.com,.s3.amazonaws.com,kubernetes,kubernetes.default,kubernetes.default.svc,kubernetes.default.svc.cluster,kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local,.svc,.svc.cluster,.svc.cluster.local,.svc.cluster.local.,argocd-repo-server,istiod.istio-system.svc,logging-operator-logging-fluentd.logging.svc.cluster.local,argocd-repo-server,.local,.cluster,ai-helper-svc,ai-pkgmanager-svc,ai-deployer-svc,ai-appmanager-svc,ai-trainer-svc,get"
  

• AKS

  "<cluster-fqdn>,.<cluster-fqdn>,localhost,127.0.0.1,10.0.0.0/8,mcr.microsoft.com,kubernetes,kubernetes.default,kubernetes.default.svc,kubernetes.default.svc.cluster,kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local,.svc,.svc.cluster,.svc.cluster.local,.svc.cluster.local.,argocd-repo-server,istiod.istio-system.svc,logging-operator-logging-fluentd.logging.svc.cluster.local,argocd-repo-server,.local,.cluster,ai-helper-svc,ai-pkgmanager-svc,ai-deployer-svc,ai-appmanager-svc,ai-trainer-svc,get\"
  

Note:

Make sure to replace <cluster-fqdn> with the actual FQDN URL.

Providing proxy setting in input.json

Configure the input.json file with the following parameters:

Mandatory parameters	Description
enabled	Use true or false to enable or disable proxy settings.
http_proxy	Used to route HTTP outbound requests from the cluster. This should be the proxy server FQDN and port.
https_proxy	Used to route HTTPS outbound requests from the cluster. This should be the proxy server FQDN and port.
no_proxy	Comma-separated list of hosts, IP addresses, or IP ranges in CIDR format that you do not want to route via the proxy server. The list must be the one provided in the Configuring the cluster section for EKS or AKS, respectively.

Example input.json for proxy configuration:

"proxy": {
  "enabled": true,
  "http_proxy": "http://<PROXY-SERVER-IP:<PROXY-PORT>",>
  "https_proxy": "http://<PROXY-SERVER-IP:<PROXY-PORT>",>
  "no_proxy": <"paste list from Configuring the cluster section">
  }

Pods failing to communicate with FQDN in a proxy environment

In a proxy environment, if the proxy server uses the same port as the TCP port of any other service in the Istio service mesh, such as port 8080, pods cannot communicate with the FQDN. For more information on the issue and how to address it, refer to Pods cannot communicate with FQDN in a proxy environment.
