Get your own serverless run time

Hey,
Is there anyway to bring my own serverless runtime to UiPath? for example to connect an aws serverless machine so i could run processes in parallel? or for that matter any other option for that? i need to be able to run parallel process on demand

Hi @Daniela_Rosenstein
You may be looking for Linux Robots: Robot - Linux Robots

You can deploy these container-based robots locally or on any cloud platform

So basically using docker image i can parallel run few processes?

Each Linux Robot acts as another Machine you add to Orchestrator. They work the same way as Cloud Robots - Serverless in terms of compatibility (Cross-platform compatibility processes only) and require an Unattended license.

In terms of infrastructure, they are easier to deploy and more cost-effective than VM/VDI

Thank you for your quick response btw, appreciate!
But basically what is happening there is that each machine still needs a license? No parallel running?

Exactly, no parallel running.

In order to maximize the use of licenses, what I’ve done in the past is:

  1. Include parallelization inside my project using Parallel or Parallel For Each
  2. Split my process and develop one part outside UiPath for example Python, and integrate my Python code to create queue items in Orchestrator. That way, I parallel the first part with simple scripts but still leverage UiPath for the more complex part and keep it managed by Orchestrator

@Daniela_Rosenstein you can also use create an image and use with elastic robot pool. Check the documentation

You need to have license anyway.

that’s what i was looking for! thank you
