Examples of various use cases and how to use Automation mesh

Automation mesh can be used in a variety of ways, but the two key reasons to use it are to remain geographic or due to network restrictions. The following are some examples:

• Security reasons such as a firewalled DMZ
• Separation of private data centers from the public cloud
• Unstable connections that may not survive the duration of a job run
• Remote locations with high latency from the central deployment

Now, let’s look at a scenario that uses Automation mesh effectively with these key reasons in mind.

Global Automation mesh example

The following example tries to highlight a setup that covers all the preceding examples. For illustration purposes, each instance group has two nodes. Each group also has at least two servers for redundancy purposes. To start, let’s see what how this deployment looks like:
