Feature parity across deployments

Edit online

IBM watsonx Orchestrate can be deployed as a managed software as a service (SaaS) or installed on-premises. As new features are added on each deployment's release cycle, it’s important that you understand which features are available in a deployment, so you can make informed decisions based on your business requirements.

Stay up to date with the latest features through the What's new in IBM® watsonx Orchestrate®.

The feature parity covers the following deployments:

Amazon Web Services (AWS): for the IBM-managed instances that are provisioned as a service on AWS.
IBM Cloud: for the IBM-managed instances that are provisioned as a service on IBM Cloud.
AWS GovCloud (US): for the IBM-managed instances that are provisioned as a service on AWS GovCloud (US).
IBM Software Hub (SWH): for client-managed instances that are provisioned on IBM Software Hub. It is an on-premises deployment and uses a stationary version of the continuous-delivered and continuous-integrated SaaS deployment for each of its releases into IBM Software Hub.
Developer Edition (DE): Developer Edition provides a local development environment on your computer to increase the development and building efficiency of agents and tools. To install and manage the Developer Edition, use the watsonx Orchestrate Agent Development Kit (ADK).

Important:

The availability of features might differ based on your IBM watsonx Orchestrate license. For more information, see Licenses and entitlements.

Feature parity by deployment

The feature parity is based on the features that you can handle through the watsonx Orchestrate's user interface, except by the mentioned for API capabilities and watsonx Orchestrate Agent Development Kit (ADK) features.

API capabilities

API capabilities might have their own support coverage for specific operations. For more information, see watsonx Orchestrate API documentation.

watsonx Orchestrate Agent Development Kit (ADK) features

Some features can be configured only through ADK CLI, as they are not available through the user interface. For more information, see Features that are configured only through the ADK CLI.

If you plan to use features from ADK in your IBM Software Hub (SWH) deployment, you must consider the supported ADK versions for each SWH version. For more information, see the SWH - watsonx Orchestrate ADK compatibility chart section in the watsonx Orchestrate Agent Development Kit documentation.

Classification of support coverage

Each deployment receives a classification of support coverage based on how the deployment supports the features' capabilities that are detailed in this topic:

Full support: The deployment fully supports the feature and its capabilities.
Partial support: The deployment partially supports the feature and its capabilities compared to other deployments. Partial support can occur when one or more of the following cases apply to the deployment:
- The deployment has the feature, but the feature implementation in the product differs from other deployments.
- The deployment does not support all the features' capabilities that are listed in the table.
No support: The deployment does not support the feature and its capabilities compared to other deployments.

Refer to the following table for the feature classification on each deployment:

¹ Partial support availability: Considering features and capabilities, IBM watsonx Orchestrate on IBM Software Hub is usually one release behind the current Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) deployment of IBM watsonx Orchestrate on AWS or on IBM Cloud. Back to reference.

Parity by feature capabilities

Features can have their own capabilities, which might have limitations on what deployments support them. In the following sections, you can view the capabilities of each feature and if the deployments support these capabilities.

In the tables, you can find the following indications:

The black tick ✓ indicates that the deployment supports the capability.
The black tick with a warning ✓⚠️ indicates that the deployment supports the capability, but the capability might have specific implementations that differ from other deployments.
The black cross ✕ indicates that the deployment does not support the capability.

Features that are configured only through the ADK CLI

Some features are configurable only through the Agent Development Kit (ADK). These features are supported across all IBM watsonx Orchestrate deployment options, including:

AWS
IBM Cloud
AWS GovCloud (US)
On-premises
Developer Edition

Important:

The following features are available in all deployment environments but must be configured by using the ADK. No UI support is provided for these features.
A few features exist exclusively within the ADK and are not available in any deployment environment. ADK-exclusive features are intended for advanced development and configuration use cases.
Documentation for ADK-exclusive features is available only in the ADK Documentation.

The following features are supported across all deployment options but require ADK for configuration:
