Abstract
An example embodiment may involve persistent storage containing definitions of (i) assignments of bots to endpoints, (ii) software packages for execution by the bots, (iii) schedules for the bots to execute the software packages, and (iv) processes that associate the bots with the software packages and the schedules. This embodiment may also involve processors configured to: receive, from a computing device, a request for bot deployment, wherein the computing device includes a bot runtime; identify, in the processes, a bot assigned to an endpoint that is associated with the computing device, wherein the bot is associated with a software package and a schedule; and transmit, to the computing device, data including a representation of the bot, a copy of the software package, and a copy of the schedule, wherein reception of the data causes the bot to execute, using the bot runtime, the software package in accordance with the schedule.
