AIQ Cloud Architecture Overview

AIQ Cloud Architecture Overview

AIQ cloud deployments use controller, execution, storage, and integration components sized for the target workload. Exact architecture depends on the customer environment, deployment model, and AIQ release.

Core areas

• Controller services coordinate users, projects, executions, and reporting.
• Execution capacity is aprovided distributedby Test Nodes or equivalent worker resources.
• Storage and data services retain configuration, execution results, and operational test environment.data.
• Networking, certificates, proxy rules, and integrations connect AIQ hasto athe consolesystems under test.
