The architecture diagram of Automic Automation presents all key platform components, user interfaces, supporting modules, and integration paths. When a component is highlighted—such as the Automation Engine here—it indicates that the current focus is on the installation, configuration, and operation of that specific element. The system includes the Automation Engine (AE), Agents, Web Interface (AWI), Data Analytics, Infrastructure Manager, custom actions, and various APIs (SOAP, REST, CallAPI). Each component can be deployed separately and has distinct installation requirements, configuration steps, and connectivity prerequisites as outlined in the installation guide. This page specifically addresses the Automation Engine installation.
