About Automation Cloud

Automation Cloud is a cloud-based enterprise SaaS platform that enables organizations to design, deploy, operate, and scale automation from a centralized and secure environment. It brings together automation services, licenses, users, tenants, and governance in one place, allowing teams to move from idea to production quickly and efficiently. Automation Cloud is available in three flavors, each designed for different operational, compliance, and data residency requirements: the commercially available Automation Cloud, Automation Cloud Public Sector, and Automation Cloud Dedicated.

All Automation Cloud platforms include centralized governance, automatic updates, regional selection, and access to UiPath cloud services. UiPath Automation Cloud is a fully managed SaaS platform for running and scaling your automation workloads without maintaining infrastructure.

New products and features are introduced progressively across these cloud platforms. In general, new functionality becomes available first in Automation Cloud, and is subsequently made available in Automation Cloud Public Sector and Automation Cloud Dedicated, subject to compliance, infrastructure, and release readiness requirements. Availability may therefore vary depending on the cloud platform you use. For details, refer to Feature and product availability.
