Amazon Elastic Container Service (AWS ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service that simplifies the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications. ECS allows you to run and scale Docker containers on AWS infrastructure without needing to manage the underlying hardware or software, making it easier to build, deploy, and operate containerized applications. It integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, supports both serverless (AWS Fargate) and server-based (EC2) compute options, and provides robust security, networking, and monitoring capabilities.In Amazon Elastic Container Service (AWS ECS), an ECS task is a running instance of a task definition. Tasks use case is ideal for one-time or short-lived jobs. For example:Batch Jobs: Suitable for batch processing, data transformations, and other workloads that complete after a certain period. Task Scheduling: Useful for scheduled tasks, such as cron jobs, where you need to run a task at specific intervals.Manual Execution: Good for tasks that you want to run on-demand or manually trigger through an event or user action. This integration provides the capability to run ECS Tasks allowing the above use-cases to be fulfilled through UAC, where UAC has the role of an orchestrator. Key FeaturesRun AWS ECS Tasks.Stop AWS ECS Tasks.Capability to run and stop tasks with custom configurations and environment variables.Capability to run with proxies.

The integration for Azure Blob Storage allows secure transfer of files from Azure Blob Storage containers and folders.Storing data in the cloud becomes an integral part of most modern IT landscapes. With the Stonebranch Universal Automation Center, you can securely automate your AWS, Azure, Google, and MinIO file transfers and integrate them into your existing scheduling flows. Key Features: The following file transfer commands are supported: Upload file(s) to an Azure Blob Storage container. Download file(s) from an Azure Blob Storage container. Transfer files between Azure Blob Storage containers. List objects in an Azure Blob Storage container. Delete object(s) in an Azure Blob Storage container. List Azure Blob Storage container names. Create an Azure Blob Storage container. File transfer can be triggered by a third-party application using the Universal Automation Center RESTfull web service API: REST API. The integration for Azure Blob Storage can be integrated into any existing scheduling workflow in the same way as any standard Linux or Windows task type. Security is ensured by using the HTTPS protocol with support for an optional proxy server. Supports Azure token-based Shared Access Signature (SAS). No Universal Agent needs to be installed on the Azure cloud – the communication goes via HTTPS.

This integration allows users to run Kubernetes and perform the list (get), create, delete, and replace functions.  Key Features: This task is delivered as a built-in Universal Template from the Stonebranch Universal Controller (UC) release 6.9.0.0 and higher. Documentation is included in the UC 6.9 product documentation. It provides the ability to automate Kubernetes container operations by providing tasks for the following Kubernetes functions: list, create, delete, and replace for Kubernetes Pods, Deployments, and Namespaces.

Configure and deploy integrations within Pods. Automate secure file transfers of data between on-prem, private, and public cloud platforms and applications. Trigger transfers in real-time based on system events. Break down data silos. This solution is used to pre-configure Stonebranch Universal Agents to work with Kubernetes. You may configure any number of agents with this solution. Configured agents are used for secure file transfers between any solutions running on Red Hat OpenShift and any platforms or applications that are not. This includes moving data between the mainframe and the cloud in a hybrid IT environment.This product is available as a certified operator from the Red Hat Marketplace. For ease of access, you may alternatively download the solution directly from the Red Hat OpenShift console. There is a free trial available, so go ahead and take it out for a spin. To access this extension, download it directly from the Red Hat Marketplace. Download NowKey Features: Hybrid file transfer for OpenShift: Automate the transfer of data back and forth between your mainframe, on-prem servers, cloud storage, virtual servers, and any application running on OpenShift. High security for internal and external file transfers: Battle-tested encryption ensures files are secure across both internal transfers and transfers with external third-party applications and platforms. Real-time file transfers with event-based triggers: With event-driven automation technology, you will achieve real-time automation across your entire hybrid IT environment. Event-based triggers include file monitors, email monitors, application monitors, and many more. Of course, you may also use time-based triggers. Real-time monitoring and auditing: Real-time monitoring and auditing of the entire file transfer process and centralized logging of all activities make the movement of data easy to track and virtually audit-proof. Automate and schedule workloads: Use a visual drag-and-drop workflow editor to automate and schedule jobs/workloads across any application and platform. Easily combine the power of the Stonebranch Universal Controller (UC) with Universal Agents and Red Hat OpenShift Pods. The benefits of using UC to schedule jobs/workloads for an application deployed on OpenShift include highly reduced resource consumption, scalability and performance, fast deployment, and testing. Integrate OpenShift with any other applications or platforms: By running a Universal Agent within an OpenShift Pod, you are able to take advantage of the many integrations that run through the Stonebranch platform. This means you can connect with a variety of applications and platforms that span categories like DevOps, Big Data, ERP, CRM, Infrastructure, and other business applications. Example Use Cases:  Transfer files from the mainframe to all started OpenShift Pods related to an application. Transfer files from an application in OpenShift to an application within the internal IT landscape, e.g., SAP business warehouse. Transfer a file from any cloud storage to all OpenShift Pods related to an app (and vice versa). Trigger a file transfer from a third-party web app located in an OpenPaaS landscape. How does it work?  Any file transfer can be triggered by calling the REST API of the UC. Essentially, you can start a file transfer workflow from any application, independent of whether it runs on a (virtual) server, mainframe, or in a Pod. Once a Pod is started, the sidecar container is also started, and the Universal Agent of the sidecar container automatically registers to a UC agent cluster specific for the application. For each OpenShift application, one UC agent cluster is created.  As soon as the Universal Agent of the sidecar container is assigned to the related UC agent cluster, all related Pods are able to send and receive files from any other Universal Agent installed on a server, either on the mainframe or agentless from any cloud storage. 

Oracle Scheduler, a feature embedded in Oracle Database, facilitates the automation of a variety of tasks, jobs, and processes within the database environment. Users can schedule and oversee the execution of jobs, programs, and scripts at specified intervals or in response to events.  The Universal Task in Stonebranch enables users to directly schedule, trigger, monitor, and orchestrate jobs and job chains within the Oracle Scheduler through the Python module cx_Oracle in Universal Controller. Additionally, it allows the establishment of dependencies among different Oracle jobs or job chains, as well as connections with processes in other applications or platforms through UAC workflows. This integration permits Oracle Scheduler jobs to be triggered from UAC, either through time-based or event-based mechanisms Key Features: This Universal task provides the following main features:Ability to schedule, trigger & orchestrate the execution of Oracle Scheduler Job / Job chainsMonitor the Oracle job / Job Chain execution.Print job logs/execution status post-execution.
