Deploy a pod to assign hardware resources to a browser automation experiment. Once deployed, the automation is published and available in the Browser Automation node within workflows, where all defined variables and configuration parameters can be accessed. Deployment also supports versioning, approvals, validation checks, and rollback mechanisms to promote workflows and agents safely from development to staging and production. Navigation: Go to SettingsBrowser AutomationDeployment.
With Browser Automation Deployment, you can:
  • Deploy a pod for a browser automation experiment.
  • Customize resource allocation for deployments.
  • Set auto-scaling limits to ensure optimal performance.
  • Review deployed and ready-to-deploy pods.
  • View details of the latest and previous deployment versions.
  • Redeploy pods that were previously undeployed.
  • Undeploy or delete pods.
  • Search for a deployment.
Billing and credit usage for Browser Automation are calculated based on the deployed pods and hardware configuration.

Deployment Dashboard

The Deployment page shows the following information for each pod:

Deploy a Pod

Prerequisite: Ensure your account has sufficient credits to deploy a pod.
  1. Click Deploy in the top-right corner.
  2. In General Settings, enter the Deployment name and Description.
  3. In Resource allocation, configure the following: Scaling parameters: Hardware: Select a hardware profile (number of vCPUs) from the dropdown.
    Selecting a hardware profile displays the hourly credit consumption, profiling data, and the number of browser automations that can run in parallel on that hardware. Additional requests are queued.
  4. Review the deployment details and accept the terms.
  5. Click Deploy to proceed. You can also save the configuration as a draft or go back to modify details.
A success message confirms that the pod is deployed. A confirmation email is also sent when the deployment completes.

Delete permanently removes the pod and its data from all experiments where it is deployed. Only a Master Admin or Workspace Owner can delete a pod. Proceed with caution — this action cannot be undone.

Undeploy a Pod

Undeploying a pod temporarily disassociates it from all browser experiments. You can redeploy it later.
  1. On the Deployment page, click the pod you want to undeploy.
  2. Click Configurations on the left menu.
  3. In the Danger Zone section, click Proceed to Undeploy.
  4. Click Un-deploy in the confirmation window.
A success message confirms the undeployment. A confirmation email is also sent.

Redeploy a Pod

You can redeploy an active or undeployed pod and optionally update the general and resource allocation settings before redeployment.
  1. On the Deployment page, click the pod you want to redeploy.
  2. Click Re-deploy in the top-right corner, then confirm in the dialog.
  3. Modify any required parameters. See Deploy a Pod for configuration steps.
  4. Click Deploy on the Review page.
A success message confirms the deployment. A confirmation email is also sent. The status shows Deploying while in progress and changes to Deployed once complete.
