An elastic runtime environment is similar to a Secure Agent group, except it uses containers and Kubernetes orchestration to provide elastic scaling to optimize resource management.
Note: Effective in the July 2025 release, elastic runtime environments are available for preview. Preview functionality is supported for evaluation purposes but is unwarranted and is not supported in production environments or any environment that you plan to push to production. Informatica intends to include the preview functionality in an upcoming release for production use, but might choose not to in accordance with changing market or technical circumstances.

An elastic runtime environment is ideal for environments with fluctuating workload demands and the need to control costs. You can quickly deploy this environment in your AWS cloud environment and customize the scaling by adding new nodes or enhancing existing ones. .
The environment supports elastic scaling through APIs and customizable controls, allowing you to add or enhance agent service nodes as needed. For security and reliability, there are high-availability configurations with the option to specify the number of master nodes, ensuring enhanced deployment stability and protection.
Unlike Secure Agent groups, you can't share an elastic runtime environment with sub organizations.
