Manage your enterprise-wide digital workforce of UiPath robots

View deployment guide

This Partner Solution sets up an Amazon Web Services (AWS) architecture that deploys UiPath Orchestrator on the AWS Cloud. With UiPath Orchestrator, you can securely schedule, manage, and control your entire enterprise-wide digital workforce of UiPath software robots. UiPath Orchestrator is also the integration point with third-party applications, managing the creation, monitoring, and deployment of all robotic-process-automation resources in your environment.

This Partner Solution was developed by UiPath in collaboration with AWS. UiPath is an AWS Partner.

  •  What you'll build

  • This Partner Solution sets up the following:

    • A highly available architecture that spans two or more Availability Zones.*
    • A virtual private cloud (VPC) configured with public and private subnets, according to AWS best practices, to provide you with your own virtual network on AWS.*
    • In the public subnets:
      • A Windows bastion host to control inbound Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances in the private subnets.
      • AWS Storage Gateway providing the file gateway virtual machine image.
      • An Amazon EC2 instance hosting the file gateway.
      • Security groups for fine-grained inbound access to file gateway and bastion host instances.
    • In the private subnets:
      • An Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group with up to 20 UiPath Orchestrator nodes. Nodes are hosted on Amazon EC2 instances running Microsoft Windows Server 2019.
      • A database subnet group for Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) DB instances running SQL Server.
      • High-availability add-on for UiPath Orchestrator in a three-node cluster of Amazon EC2 instances with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
      • Security groups for fine-grained inbound access to UiPath Orchestrator and high-availability add-on instances.
    • An Application Load Balancer to balance traffic between UiPath Orchestrator nodes.
    • AWS Certificate Manager for domain registration with a Secure Sockets Layer certificate.
    • Amazon Route 53 as Domain Name System provider to route traffic to the Application Load Balancer.
    • Amazon CloudWatch for log collection, storage, and analysis, and to enable complete visibility of robots and automation tasks.
    • Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket for NuGet packages, the automation projects run by UiPath software robots.
    • AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role granting access to the S3 bucket to AWS Storage Gateway.

    * The template that deploys the Partner Solution into an existing VPC skips the components marked by asterisks and prompts you for your existing VPC configuration.
