  8 Online Deployment Deployment Types& Capacity Planning • AS requires access to internet during installation and while running • UiPath products and registry are stored either on UiPath registry or UiPath trusted third party store • Access can be restricted using firewall or proxy server by blocking the traffic which is not required by Automation Suite • Easier, faster, require less hardware to install and manage • Can’t switch from online to offline deployment post installation
• 9.
  9 Offline Deployment Deployment Types& Capacity Planning – Continued… • Offline deployment is also known as air-gapped deployment • Isolated from internet • Requires installation of additional registry to store UiPath Products’ container images and binaries • Additional hardware required to upload binaries/registries • Increased complexity and time required for installation • Can’t switch from offline to online deployment post installation
• 10.
  10 Deployment Options Deployment Types& Capacity Planning – Continued… • UiPath provides flexibility to deploy complete Automation Suite platform on containerised platform like: • AKS: Azure Kubernetes Services • EKS: Elastic Kubernetes Services • Openshift • Linux Embedded Capacity Planning • UiPath offers a capacity planning calculator which will help your determine hardware requirements to set-up Automation Suite. • https://docs.uipath.com/automation-suite/2024.10/calculator
