Plesk Automation Technical Details

Plesk Automation consolidates hosting across Plesk servers under the supervision of a central Management Node. The administration interface provides centralized control over:

  • Centralized IP pools and IP address management
  • Single point of software installation and updates across all environment servers
  • Centralized mail servers including spam and anti-virus management
  • Full support for IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack configurations
  • Monitoring server statuses and software component states
  • Asynchronous task management for infrastructure updates and provisioning
  • Aggregated resource usage reporting across your environment
  • Centralized license management for service nodes and additional software components
  • Open API integration capabilities for billing and ordering systems

Plesk Automation allows load redistribution across dedicated role-based nodes, optimizing hardware and software configurations for specific services like web, mail, database, and DNS.

Upgrading to Plesk Automation

Several upgrade and migration options are available for existing hosting environments:

  • In-place upgrade procedure from Plesk Panel 10.x and 11.x
  • Server-to-server migration paths from supported legacy versions
  • Consolidation support for Plesk Expand instances

During consolidation, existing accounts from Plesk Panel servers are imported into the Management Node, while source servers are converted into Service Nodes within the new architecture.
