Downloading Opscotch
Opscotch is distributed as downloadable ZIP files and as Docker images. This page covers installation options, verification, and configuration.
Starting the runtime
This page describes the main ways to start the opscotch runtime.
Startup and shutdown
This page describes what happens when the runtime starts, when it becomes ready, and how it shuts down cleanly.
Cryptography
Opscotch provides cryptographic capabilities at two layers: the packager for key generation and workflow package security, and the runtime for in-workflow cryptographic operations.
Packager
Opscotch packages workflow configurations for deployment to the agent. Packages are encrypted by default with runtime-internal keys, which provides obfuscation against casual inspection but not confidentiality against a motivated attacker. For security-sensitive deployments, use the authenticated encryption fields and explicit keys described later in this page.
Licensing
Licensing in opscotch uses time-limited issued licenses and a delegated license hierarchy.
Monitoring
opscotch has in-built delivery of logs and operational metrics to your monitoring platform, or logs can be collected by your own monitoring systems.
Securing
opscotch was built to operate in the most securely demanding environments and has been designed with many features to increase its security posture. The single most governing principal of opscotch is to "keep the customers data in the customers network".
Testing
opscotch was built to be reliable, and that includes workflow authoring.
