Azure template version: 2022.10.0
Automation Suite version: 2022.10.0

What’s new

• You can now install new services using the Azure deployment template. Process Mining and Automation Suite Robots are the latest additions to the suite.

• You can now install strictly the products you are interested in using the Azure deployment template as we have deprecated the Basic product selection and made Orchestrator optional.

• You can now connect AI Center to an external Orchestrator. To do that, you must explicitly opt for this functionality and provide certificates for Orchestrator and Identity.

• We have introduced a new tool guiding you through the steps you need to take to complete the Automation Suite installation as well as common post-installation operations. It is called Cluster Administration, and it provides useful instructions on certificate configuration, Kerberos authentication setup, node administration, database maintenance, cluster monitoring, and more. For details on how to access the tool, see Post-deployment steps.

• The Azure template now defaults to RHEL 8.6.

• We have added Standard_D8s_v3 and Standard_F8s_v2 to the list of possible VM instance types for server and agent instance types.

• We have introduced a paradigm change in terms of storage: when using the Azure deployment template, your data is stored externally.

• You can now perform backup and restore cluster operations through Automation Account runbooks. For more details, see Azure VM lifecycle operations.
