Network Requirements for
Automation Orchestrator

Each
Automation Orchestrator
 node requires a network setup.
The network requirements for
Automation Orchestrator
 are:
  • Single, static IPv4 and Network Address
  • Reachable DNS server set manually
  • Valid fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) set manually that can be resolved both forward and in reverse through the DNS server
IP address change or hostname change after installation is not supported and results in a broken setup that is not recoverable.

Ports and Endpoints

The
Automation Orchestrator
 Kubernetes service includes two endpoints and several main network ports.

Network Ports

You can access
Automation Orchestrator
 over port 443. The 443 port is secured with a self-signed certificate that is generated during the installation. When using an external load balancer, it must be set up to balance on port 443.
