How to Install Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition v24 in Azure

This step-by-step technical walkthrough demonstrates how to successfully deploy and configure Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition (AAKE) v24 on Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). The guide covers foundational requirements, including setting up a UTF-8 encoded PostgreSQL database, provisioning necessary Kubernetes secrets, and installing ingress controllers. Viewers will also learn best practices for configuring TLS certificates and managing external load balancers to ensure secure, seamless connectivity for both TLS and legacy agents.

Conclusion

Deploying Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition (AAKE) v24 on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) establishes a highly scalable, resilient enterprise automation platform. By carefully executing the configuration steps outlined—from provisioning a fully managed, UTF-8 encoded PostgreSQL database to managing critical Kubernetes secrets and configuring cert-manager TLS certificates—administrators can secure and optimize their entire cluster environment.

As cloud environments continue to evolve, proactively incorporating modern infrastructure options like the Kubernetes Gateway API promotes seamless compatibility. Further, establishing proper HTTP(S) and TCP load balancing offers flexible, reliable backend connectivity for both modern TLS-enabled agents and legacy non-TLS agents via the TLS Gateway.

This comprehensive and structured guide offers insights you need for establishing optimal cluster performance, robust security, and efficient scaling for your enterprise workloads.
