Automation Suite on EKS/AKS Installation Guide
Last updated Apr 19, 2024

Prerequisite checks

It is recommended to run prerequisite checks to ensure that you properly configured the cloud infrastructure and to validate input.json before starting the Automation Suite installation.
You can run a prerequisite check using the uipathctl prereq command. By default, this command verifies all the prerequisites. If you want to exclude components from the execution, use the --excluded flag.
The prerequisite and health checks/tests run in the uipath-check namespace. You must either allow the creation of the uipath-check namespace or create it yourself before running the checks/tests. In addition to this, some checks/tests require that you allow the communication between the uipath-check and uipath namespaces, or that you enable the use of hostNetwork.

The checks in the following table are run on each node:

Check

  • Between pod to a multinode ClusterIP

  • Between pod to a multinode ClusterIP without a clusterIP
