Installing Automation.AI in AAKE

Automation.AI is an AI-platform- agnostic, stand-alone component that can communicate with multiple Large Language Models (LLMs), thus allowing you to incorporate state-of-the-art AI technology to help you design automated processes, write scripts, analyze and explain the automation output, troubleshoot issues and suggest potential solutions to those issues. The LLMs supported are Gemini, OpenAI, and Ollama.

You can install it in Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition and on-premises systems, regardless if they have been installed manually or, for testing environments, using the ONE Installer.

Important!

Before installing Automation.AI, make sure that you have covered all preparation steps required. For more information, see AAKE: Preparing for the Automation.AI Installation.
In Automic SaaS, Gen AI is enabled by default. Broadcom configures and maintains the AI component. To disable the Gen AI capabilities, you must request it through a support ticket.

Once you have covered the preparation steps for the installation of the Automation.AI component, you carry out a normal AAKE installation. For detailed information about the installation process, see Installing an AAKE System.

After deployment, you also have the option to disable the Automation.AI installation through a helm upgrade. If there were no other changes done in the values.yaml file, only the automation-ai pod is restarted while all other pods remain running. If the values.yaml file included more changes, the other pods are also restarted automatically.

You also have the option to use the configmap to change environment variable settings after deployment. For more information, see Setting Environment Variables after Deployment.
