Elastic Robot Orchestration

With Elastic Robot Orchestration we are taking our SaaS one step further by offering a new feature: cloud management for your robots in your public cloud subscription, on your behalf. At the moment we support Azure, but soon enough we'll also onboard AWS and GCP.

Elastic Robot Orchestration means you can leave the nuisance of managing virtual machine scale to us. We will turn them on or off to scale your robot capacity as you need more jobs executed, and so on. You just create the connection to your cloud inside your Orchestrator settings, sit back, and relax.

The prerequisites for cloud robots are:

• a cloud subscription that has a resource group and an application registration created;
• a virtual machine image captured in your cloud, which is useful for creating the virtual machines at runtime.

Check the Elastic Robot Orchestration documentation for more details.
