When companies adopt automation with UiPath, there are countless ways to combine the products and deploy them: in cloud, on-premises as a platform, on-premises as individual products, and hybrid. Automation Infrastructure Engineers have to be able to analyze the infrastructure requirements, design the architecture according to the solution specs and the company's policies, then deploy, maintain and upgrade it.
Access the career guidance survey to get assistance on the automation career that suits you best.
- Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and business automation basics.
- The UiPath Platform components.
- The UiPath delivery options: Automation Cloud, Automation Suite, standalone product installation, hybrid.
- UiPath licensing.
Depending on the company's maturity with the UiPath technology, there are two distinct skillsets which Automation Infrastructure Engineers need to master. Depending on them, the prerequisites and career progression may look very different:
They are able to design, deploy, maintain, and upgrade infrastructures holding the entire UiPath Platform and its components, built on Linux and Kubernetes. This infrastructure is a must for companies looking to get the full benefits of automation in all its flavors (UI automation, API automation, test automation), as well as the associated technologies (process mining, task mining, and so on).
They are able to design, deploy, maintain, and upgrade infrastructures consisting of UiPath Orchestrator and one or several other UiPath products with different degrees of integration. This infrastructure can be a temporary solution for companies more focused on the value brought by the UiPath core RPA capabilities.
- Analyze infrastructure requirements (applications in scope, license size, availability requirements).
- Analyze deployment prerequisites.
- Document the infrastructure deployment plan.
- Design the infrastructure architecture based on the collected requirements and the company's policies, and document them in architecture diagrams.
- Deploy the infrastructure fabric
- Work with appropriate teams to request and configure appropriate resources, certificates, configurations for the infrastructure.
- Deploy the applications in scope.
- Test the infrastructure and applications.
- Monitor, repair, and upgrade the infrastructure and applications, as needed.
