Automation Anywhere now supports running API Task on AWS private cloud. This capability enables organizations to leverage secure and scalable infrastructure while maintaining full control over their automation workloads. This capability is designed for organizations that require private hosting to maintain data sovereignty, enhanced security, meet compliance standards, and achieve low-latency performance.

Overview

The API Task on AWS private cloud feature enables you to deploy API Task within your own AWS infrastructure. Deploying API Tasks in AWS private cloud ensures that the sensitive and critical data remain within the network perimeter of the organization. The organizations can control the cloud resources, scaling, and manage security controls based on their business needs.

Architecture

The architecture includes Control Room deployed on AWS EC2 instance and API Tasks infrastructure set up on another AWS account. Both accounts are connected through VPC peering ensuring that the data transaction occurs in real-time with low-latency during the automation runtime. All the current API Tasks workflows are available in AWS private cloud setup. For more information about architecture, see API Task on AWS private cloud architecture.
