Automic Automation / Google Cloud Run Agent Integration
Google Cloud Run is a fully managed compute platform that allows you to run stateless containers, which can be invoked via HTTP requests or events. It's serverless, meaning it handles the infrastructure management, so you can focus on building and deploying your applications. Cloud Run abstracts away infrastructure concerns, such as scaling, networking, and security, allowing you to deploy your code in containers and have it automatically scaled up or down based on demand.
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.
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:
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 implement (install and configure) and work with the Google Cloud Run Agent Integration (configure Google Cloud Run jobs, and include them in other Automic Automation objects), 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:
For all users:
For administrators:
-
Automic Automation v21 Administration Foundations (installation)
-
Automic Automation v21 Administration Standard (configuration)
For developers and object designers
This documentation describes how to set up the integration and how to work with Google Cloud Run jobs.
