Is UI automation possible without using Power Automate Desktop?

Posted on by
Hello Team, 
 
My customer is transitioning all their solutions to the cloud, they prefer not to maintain any on-premises or virtual infrastructure. Therefore, they intend to implement all automation tasks using Power Automate cloud flows only, with no reliance on desktop flows.
 
Here are the some sample requirement:
  1. UI automation for both web and Windows application.
  2. Batch processing via SSH, with manual input provided by the operator
  3. Running jobs through graphical user interfaces
  4. Secure file encryption and decryption using third-party tools

Questions: 
  • Is there a way to implement all the above using Power Automate cloud flows only?
  • If not, are there any Azure-based services that can fulfill these requirements without requiring infrastructure support or maintenance from the customer?
Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    There is no UI in the cloud. There is no manual input in the cloud. You need to make sure that your customer understands that.

    Closest you’ll probably get is Azure container apps UI automation
