Dynamic allocation of computing environments for rpa workload completion
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11971705B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for managing Robotic Process Automation (RPA) workloads efficiently. The method involves receiving a request for completing an RPA workload, determining the number of computing environments needed based on selected RPA autoscaling strategies, and allocating these environments to RPA robots for workload completion. The patent outlines various RPA autoscaling strategies, including dynamic, speed over cost, balanced, and cost over speed strategies, allowing for flexible and optimized resource allocation.
Furthermore, the patent describes the customization options available to users, such as configuring control variables for a custom autoscaling strategy. The method also includes features like user selection of autoscaling strategies, automatic strategy selection based on predefined schedules or workload sources, and the use of virtual machines as computing environments. The patent covers not only the computer-implemented method but also an apparatus and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions for implementing the described operations. Overall, the patent aims to enhance the efficiency and scalability of RPA workloads by intelligently managing computing resources based on workload demands and user preferences.
