Remote Executor Prerequisites

Why a Remote Executor is Required​

A Remote Executor is a required component in an Actions deployment.

The Remote Executor can be any Windows server that meets the prerequisites outlined below and has outbound internet access to connect securely to the Actions platform.

In addition to enabling connectivity to on-premises systems, the Remote Executor is responsible for executing and processing some workflow activities.

Requirements​

Make sure the following are prepared before you run the installation:

  • A physical or virtual machine on your premises that meets the following requirements:
    • OS: Windows Server 2012 or later
    • TLS 1.2 enabled
    • Additional software:
      • .NET Framework 4.7.2
      • ASP.NET Core Runtime 8.0 [included in the installer]
      • .NET Desktop Runtime 9.0 [included in the installer]
    • CPU: 2 cores or more
    • RAM: 8 GB or more
    • Free disk space: 10 GB or more
    • Display resolution: 1280x720 (HD) or higher
    • Internet connection
  • Required network access:
    • The following ports must be open to allow secure communication with the Resolve Actions platform:
      • Port 443 - HTTPS/AMQP over WebSockets
      • Port 5671 - AMQP over TLS (secure message queue transport)
      • Port 5672 - AMQP (non-TLS messaging, usually internal or fallback)
    • Alternatively, customers may restrict outbound connectivity to the following DNS endpoint instead of allowing access to the entire public internet on the ports listed above: b-353e6a96-c909-4160-aba0-0f2e2e2d0114.mq.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
