W365 Cloud PC Scalability Considerations
Provisioning unattended RPA on W365 Cloud PCs necessitates the careful allocation of process capacity, as each bot can handle a single unattended desktop flow at a time. Scalability can be achieved by provisioning additional W365 Cloud PCs. Each unattended bot requires a separate licence, and while multiple bots can use one machine, they cannot do so simultaneously.
Local organisations are responsible for monitoring the capacity of the infrastructure used to run unattended RPA flows. Monitoring tools in Power Automate provide valuable insights into capacity utilisation, enabling organisations to effectively determine when additional resources or machines are required to support increasing automation demands. This ensures that the automation infrastructure remains efficient and responsive to evolving business needs.
Bring Your Own VM Scalability Considerations
Local organisations are responsible for monitoring the capacity utilisation of their virtual machines. Scaling unattended RPA using locally provisioned VMs offers organisations greater flexibility in managing their automation infrastructure. Locally provisioned VMs can be configured as machine groups to enable load balancing, allowing resources to be dynamically adjusted based on automation needs. This setup ensures that workloads are evenly distributed across machines in the group, optimising performance and efficiency.
Organisations must individually authorise the connection of VMs from their local tenants. Locally managed VMs facilitate the use of machine groups, where load balancing ensures efficient workload distribution and auto-scaling dynamically adjusts resources based on demand. Additionally, multiple bots can run in parallel within a machine group, further enhancing the scalability and efficiency of the automation processes.
