How can I switch and configure my preferred storage accounts in Robility?

To switch and configure your preferred storage account in Robility, follow these steps:

1. Access Robility Manager: Log in and select your tenant.
2. Open Storage Settings: Navigate to the Settings page and locate the Storage menu. 
3. Choose Storage Integration: From the available options, select the preferred third-party storage service (e.g., Azure Blob Storage, AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage).
4. Enter Credentials: Provide the required account details for your chosen storage provider and click Validate to verify them. 
5. Connect Storage: After successful validation, click Connect. You will receive a confirmation message upon successful connection. 

Important considerations:

1. You can connect only one storage service at a time but may switch or update configurations whenever required without any waiting period.
2. Data from your previous storage setup will not be migrated automatically; you will need to manually upload any needed files to your new storage account.
3. Files stored in prior storage integrations remain accessible via Robility Manager even after switching.
4. For cost optimization, consider using appropriate storage classes or tiers (such as Hot, Cool, Archive in Azure Blob Storage) based on data usage patterns. You can change these tiers within Azure Storage via the Azure portal under the storage account’s configuration or at the blob level.
5. Use Robility’s built-in Smart Configuration Assistant for recommendations on the best storage option tailored to your automation requirements.

If you need to manage or create a new storage account on platforms like Azure, AWS or Google typical steps include creating a resource group, specifying subscription, region, performance tier, and redundancy, which can be done via the Azure Portal or CLI.

This process ensures flexible, secure, and scalable storage management to support your automation workflows in Robility. 

How does Robility ensure data accessibility and security during storage configuration changes?

Robility ensures data accessibility and security during storage configuration changes through multiple robust measures:

1. Encryption: Customer data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard encryption protocols, preventing unauthorized access during data transfers and storage. 
2. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Access authorization is strictly managed by tenant administrators who assign fine-grained permissions based on roles. This ensures only authorized personnel can access or modify storage configurations and data. 
3. Audit Logging: Comprehensive audit capabilities track all user actions related to storage and access, ensuring transparency and accountability during configuration changes. 
4. Data Availability: Files from previous storage configurations remain accessible in Robility Manager even after switching storage services, ensuring uninterrupted data access during transitions. 
5. Manual Data Migration: As data is not automatically moved when switching storage, organizations maintain control over file transfers, reducing risks of unintended exposure or loss. 
6. Third-Party Provider Security: Robility leverages secure, enterprise-grade cloud storage platforms (Azure Blob Storage, AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage), each offering features such as multi-factor authentication, fine-grained access policies, data replication, and disaster recovery to maintain data security and availability during changes. 
7. Tenant Customization: Tenant administrators can customize storage configurations to align with organizational security policies, including using customer-managed encryption keys and managed identities when applicable. 

What practices does Robility follow to prevent tampering during storage reconfiguration?

Robility prevents tampering during storage reconfiguration by implementing a combination of strong security practices and controls designed to ensure data integrity and detect unauthorized changes. While not specific to Robility’s internal processes, established tamper-evident techniques such as audit trails, secure seals, and employee training are industry best practices that align with preventing tampering during any storage handling.

Together, these practices create strong safeguards that minimize tampering risks and ensure the integrity and security of data throughout any storage configuration changes within Robility.
