Benefits of CI / CD
- Faster delivery: shorter turnaround times, resulting in faster time to market
- Support: Problem detection during the build phase of the bot is much faster, allowing for faster problem resolution and error-free bot deployment.
- Improvement: End-user involvement in continuous development results in improved usability. New third-party feedback requirements may be met on a daily basis.
- Updates: Users receive updates on time because rolling releases using CDs is easier and less time-consuming. Release cycles, or sprints, in short, are targeted and tested for bugs before moving on to the next sprint.
- Monitoring: The progress of the development process can be communicated to the user, allowing real-time monitoring and elimination of pending feedback.
- Releases: Software deployments are painless and low-risk because the code can be viewed and edited on demand.
Cloud Automation Applies to RPA
Cloud computing is the process of running workloads in the clouds – IT environments that abstract, aggregate, and share scalable resources across the network. Neither cloud computing nor clouds are technologies in and of themselves. And this application of automation has not bypassed RPA.
Many companies see and understand the need to implement robotic process automation (RPA). And this is logical since it will allow them to increase the efficiency of their activities, regardless of their global nature, the number of employees, or other determining factors. And if there are fewer questions regarding the development of a process based on RPA technology because often development environments for such processes have visual programming tools, which helps to get used to new technology, then when implementing industrial projects of the corresponding technology, the question arises, how will it be managed? Are there any standardized approaches for implementing an RPA project and a whole pool of organizational issues that are no less important than writing the project code?
In this article, we will give an example of a common platform for automating business decisions – UiPath, the cloud solution of which, Orchestrator, is considered one of the best, and let’s see what offers for cloud automation and RPA process management it has.
