Automic Automation / Google Cloud Batch Agent Integration

Google Cloud Batch is a fully managed service that lets you schedule, queue, and execute batch processing workloads on Google Cloud resources. For example, consider using Batch for high performance computing (HPC), machine learning (ML), and data-processing workloads. Batch provisions resources and manages capacity on your behalf, allowing your batch workloads to run at scale.

Integrating Automic Automation with Google Batch allows you to run Google Batch jobs on your Google Cloud Batch system from Automic Automation.

The Agents and the Automation Engine communicate using TLS/SSL, which requires the use of trusted certificates to verify the identity of the respective communication partners.

When an Agent communicates with an on-premises Automic Automation system, it establishes the connection to the Java communication process (JCP). When communicating with the Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition, it establishes the connection to an ingress / HTTPS load balancer. Regardless of the environment you use, you have to make sure that you have the required certificates in place.

Important!

Make sure you are familiar with the TLS/SSL and certificate implementation before installing and/or upgrading the respective component. For more information, see the Automic Automation documentation at:

Note:

This integration capability, like all integrations of the Automic system, can support service orchestration Workflows. Such Workflows orchestrate automated processes that run across multiple platforms, domains, and applications to deliver a specific IT service. For more information, see About Service Orchestration in the Automic Automation help, which is available on docs.automic.com.

Release Cycles

The release cycles of this Agent Integration are independent of the Automic Automation ones.

For more information, see the Compatibility Information.

Important Consideration

To be able to implement (install and configure) and work with the Agent Integration, a sound knowledge of Automic Automation is required. If you are new to Automic Automation, we strongly recommend that you take the following courses before beginning with this integration:

Accelerated Learning with Hands-on Simulation Labs:

Beyond the product documentation and courses, Broadcom offers a range of educational materials designed to guide you through Automic Automation's features and functions. Our interactive learning center is a dedicated platform offering immersive simulation labs to help you learn by doing. They are dynamic, hands-on exercises that complement the content of our courses. They don't just tell you how to use a feature; they let you experience it directly.

Visit the Broadcom's Simulation Labs website to explore the available labs and start practicing: https://simlabs.aod.broadcom.com/simulation/automation?product=Automic.

This documentation describes how to set up the integration and how to work with Google Cloud Batch jobs.
