Appliances

The Appliances section of the Inopli RPA module provides full lifecycle management for virtual execution environments, enabling the distribution of automation workloads across physical servers or cloud-based infrastructures. Each appliance acts as a remote executor for playbooks, tasks, and integrations.

Overview

• Virtual Appliance Deployment Appliances are provisioned using Docker-based images, ensuring consistent and lightweight deployments across heterogeneous environments. Installation can be performed on bare-metal servers, virtual machines, or public cloud instances.

• Unlimited Scaling There is no limit to the number of appliances that can be registered. Organizations are free to create as many as needed to support distributed automation, high availability, or multi-region operations.

• Centralized Control All appliances are managed centrally within the Inopli interface. Admins can register, monitor, and remove appliances at any time, with visibility into their operational status and assigned workloads.

Use Cases

• Distributed Execution Appliances can be installed close to the data or systems they need to interact with, reducing latency for sensitive automations (e.g., internal AD changes, on-premises security controls).

• Workload Isolation Different appliances can be dedicated to specific workflows, tenants, or departments — providing logical and operational separation where needed.

• Cloud-Native or On-Prem Ready Whether deployed in a Kubernetes cluster, a cloud VM, or an on-premises appliance, the setup process remains the same, using containerized infrastructure with minimal prerequisites.
