The Devolutions Cloud Services installer facilitates the installation and configuration of different features such as the Privileged access management module, the Encryption service (SSO-enabled feature) and the Devolutions Cloud reporting service. The installed service will establish communication between your Devolutions Cloud and your internal resources.
Multiple instances of Devolutions Cloud Services can be run simultaneously for higher availability. Devolutions Cloud will simply use the one executed first and leave the others on standby. Should one fail, Devolutions Cloud will automatically use the next service in line.
A Friendly name can be attributed to each service during installation to help differentiate them.
