Process automation is a key element for businesses looking to increase efficiency and reduce operational costs. To streamline this management, BotCity launched the Session Manager, a strategic tool that optimizes the execution of intelligent automations.
With this new solution, businesses can overcome challenges related to the need for active graphical sessions while ensuring centralized and secure management of large-scale automations.
In this article, you’ll learn what Session Manager is, its benefits, how to use it in practice, and find answers to your most common questions about the product. Let’s dive in!
What is BotCity’s Session Manager?
Session Manager is a BotCity tool that automates session management. The tool addresses the pain point of many IT teams running Python scripts that require an active graphical interface.
This creates costs and security risks, as unused sessions remain open and cloud machines stay active without pause. Session Manager solves this problem by automatically managing sessions, activating machines only when tasks are running.
It directly manages hosts and allocates runners, which are responsible for executing tasks configured in the BotCity Orchestrator task queue.
The main function of Session Manager is to ensure that virtual machines are automatically turned on and off as needed. In this way, the tool reduces resource waste, improves operational efficiency, and minimizes infrastructure costs.
