AutoExecFlow

An API for cross-platform custom orchestration of execution steps without any third-party dependencies. Based on DAG , it implements the scheduling function of sequential execution of dependent steps and concurrent execution of non-dependent steps.

It provides API remote operation mode, batch execution of Shell , Powershell , Python and other commands, and easily completes common management tasks such as running automated operation and maintenance scripts, polling processes, installing or uninstalling software, updating applications, and installing patches.

Operating system remote execution interface

Feature

• support Windows / Linux / Mac
• Dynamically adjust the number of workers
• Orchestrating execution based on directed acyclic graph ( DAG )
• Supports forced termination of tasks or steps
• Supports suspension and resumption of tasks or steps
• Support timeout for tasks or steps
• Task-level Workspace isolation
• Browse, upload, and download tasks in Workspace
• Self-update, use parameter --self_url
• WebShell
• Support delayed Task
• Send events before/after a task or step is executed
• Task or step plugin implementation
