Cloud integration using AWS Secrets Manager

For Cloud integrations, you can configure the Control Room and external key vault integration using the Automation 360 Control Room user interface.

The Agent auto-login and Agent automation use cases are only supported on Automation 360 Cloud Control Room instances. Neither of these use cases affect the Control Room boot sequence or Control Room functionality.

Note: Bootstrap and service account credential retrieval use cases are not supported on Cloud Control Room instances because the database and services are managed internally by Automation Anywhere. There is no compliance use case (requirement) for these credentials to be stored in the customer external key vault.
