In December, we hosted an engaging PEM webinar in German on our German-language PEM platform, focused entirely on Automic SaaS. Led by Marcin Uracz, the session guided participants through the technical details, scalability, and advantages of Broadcom’s cloud-based automation solution. The high turnout and lively discussions highlighted just how relevant this topic is for many Automic users.
For those who couldn’t attend live, we’ve summarized the key points here so you can still benefit from the insights.
What Is Automic SaaS?
Automic SaaS is a Broadcom-hosted solution running on Google Cloud that utilizes the Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition (AAKE). Its key benefit is that you can access a fully operational system without worrying about the underlying infrastructure or regular updates. This makes Automic SaaS particularly appealing to companies looking to migrate their automation processes to the cloud without burdening internal resources.
Features and Benefits of Automic SaaS
- Cloud Hosting
Automic SaaS runs reliably on Google Cloud, ensuring high availability and robust performance. - Dynamic Scalability
The vertical scalability of AAKE enables the system to automatically adjust to changing workloads—ideal for businesses with fluctuating demands. - Security Through Whitelisting
Access is provided via endpoints (e.g., JCP, REST, SFTP), with IP whitelisting ensuring a high level of security. - User Management
Automic SaaS supports local authentication and offers pre-configured Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML. LDAPS integration is also possible with Broadcom support. - Migration and Data Transport
Objects and data can be easily migrated between environments using REST APIs or transport cases. - No Infrastructure Maintenance
Broadcom manages and maintains the infrastructure, so you can focus entirely on your automation projects.
Challenges and Technical Details of Automic SaaS
As with any cloud-based solution, there are some limitations. For example, there is no direct database access or CallAPI usage. Instead, modern interfaces like REST APIs are used, designed to be user-friendly while still providing maximum flexibility.
During the webinar, participants also engaged in a lively discussion about the challenges of migrating from on-premises setups to Automic SaaS, offering valuable insights for those considering the transition.
