Platform Management #
There are no deployed agents required to use Platform Management — the logic runs directly on XOAP’s cloud runners or through your established infrastructure connections.
Within the Scripted Actions library, you can already find a selection of:
- Template scripts: pre-built scripts for common tasks (like AVD management or Azure automation)
- Resources: a library where your custom scripts are stored
This means you can start automating immediately using existing templates.
Supported formats #
Platform Management supports standard PowerShell (.ps1), Azure CLI, Google CLI and AWS CLI scripts. The only prerequisite for using your own automation is that the script file must be uploaded to the Resources area or imported directly during action creation.
Establishing connections #
To execute any script, the platform requires a valid Connection to your infrastructure. It is recommended setting up your Connections to cloud providers (Azure, AWS, Google) or on-premises systems (VMware, Nutanix) before creating complex workflows.
You can easily set this up from your XOAP workspace:
- Navigate to Connections (in the main menu)
- Click + New connection
- Select your provider (Azure, AWS, Google, or other) and follow the authentication prompts
Note: The Scripted Action wizard also allows you to add a new connection during the Target selection step.
