Automate in the cloud - possible?

[Angus Reid]

Have an on prem system which has been automated using DUAS successfully for years. If this system was to move to the cloud is it possible to continue to automate using DUAS, thought his would be a clous or SAAS version if the is such a thing?  Any ideas would rather have some continuity as opposed to have to jump to a new automation tool.

Of course, you can continue to use Dollar Universe to automate your cloud environment and using the same kit than on-premise. 

You can either run Dollar Universe on the cloud virtual machine hosting your application, just as you would on-premise, or use the Dollar Universe Web Services Manager to interact with remote applications in the cloud or in SaaS.

Take the UVMS and Univiewer on the core network would need to get access to the cloud VM in order to control the DUAS node there?  That would allow dependencies etc. 

Are there any security considerations specific for DUAS in the cloud that have been come across other than forewalls?

[Angus Reid]

If no desire to use a VM and the individual calls are a bit clunky any other ways (other that have cloud provider run processes). Think asking if DUAS can integrate with cloud directly but sounds like a stretch at least?

[Frederic Caloone-Thuillier]

Keeping a single UVMS On-Premise to manage DUAS in the cloud will require opening TCP/IP ports to access it; the same applies to UVC. 
By deploying a UVMS Subordinate in the cloud to manage DUAS in the cloud, you limit TCP/IP traffic and also provide an entry point for UVC in the cloud. 
Regarding cloud tools, which almost all operate using REST APIs, you can use the Uproc Web Services Multi-Steps object to build a single process for interacting with a tool, which can then be used in your processing chains just like any other job. This can be done from a DUAS in the cloud or on-premises.
