Framework Features

Each automation use case is implemented as a worker, which orchestrates the workflow actions. It defines the necessary input and output fields along with their user interface layout of any type. Ideally developed in Python, workers execute as jobs upon user request.

Before executing an automation worker as a job, it usually needs pre-configuration. Constant inputs are defined within tasks, which can vary per worker. Tasks can also set timed schedules for hands-free, lights-out automation.

Executing a job runs the automated workflow pre-configured by a task, prompting users for required or optional inputs beforehand. A job operates in the background performing sequential or concurrent auditable actions allowing to scale as needed. As a result a job can produce compiled outputs like reports.

All automation tools are tied to your organization, serving as the focal point for contracts and billing. //bench supports multi-tenancy, allowing multiple customer organizations to coexist seamlessly within the Cloud Automation Framework.

//bench users and administrators have distinct roles for streamlined operation. Users focus on executing and managing specific automation jobs, while organization administrators handle the automation task configurations and worker deployment.

Any changes to jobs, tasks, workers, users, or organizations are meticulously logged in //bench diagnostic records. Users can conduct comprehensive audits of their individual activities, while administrators gain valuable insights into their organization's overall operations.
