1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at an orchestrator in a cloud computing environment from a user in a local computing environment, a command for executing a job for performing a robotic process automation (RPA) workflow in the cloud computing environment, the command comprising an instruction for managing an RPA robot;
in response to receiving the command for executing the job, effectuating the instruction for managing the RPA robot;
performing a task by the RPA robot executing in the cloud computing environment; and
transmitting results of the task from the RPA robot executing in the cloud computing environment to the user in the local computing environment.
