Overview

Runs-elsewhere mode is used when an agent or application runs outside the watsonx Orchestrate runtime. This mode uses instance credentials to authenticate and send requests to the platform.

Authentication

Authentication is handled by providing instance credentials, such as API key and instance URL. The SDK manages token generation and request authentication.

Examples

AWS production

PYTHON

CPD

HIPAA

Local (developer edition)

PYTHON
  • Instance credentials are required for authentication.
  • The SDK manages token handling internally.
  • Requests are routed through the configured instance URL.
  • Local configuration applies only when running developer edition locally.
