Cloud Ready
Increased cloud awareness.
- Product support to use WinCC OA in AWS® & Azure®.
- Detailed description on how data can be transferred from WinCC OA via the MQTT publisher to AWS® & Azure® is available in our online documentation.
- Easier use of WinCC OA in Kubernetes®1 .
- Central logging with a newly created Prometheus Interface for easier monitoring.
- Support of managed services, e.g. managed PostgreSQL® database as remote service for NGA (see chapters PostgreSQL® Encrypted Communication and Using a Remote Backend with Encryption), which results in excellent performance (but mind the extra costs for the e.g. AWS service itself).
