Automation Agents¶
An Automation agent is a Kubernetes worker node located within a customer's Kubernetes cluster. Agents:
-
Run recipe orders.
The agent houses and runs the Automation recipe runner. This architecture ensures that each customer has a dedicated execution engine with its own agents.
-
Provide resources and resource allocation for order runs.
When you schedule orders, you can choose to allocate disk space and memory from the resources supplied by agents.
Note
The order scheduler resides in a Kubernetes Owner/Scheduler and order runs execute within Kubernetes components for secure, scalable, and dependable management.
Example of high-level architecture with connections to a customer's Kubernetes components:
