спасибо

да, Selenium работает по HTTP, можно и удаленно команды слать

не совсем понял, специальные виртуалки это докер імеджи

нет, это виртуалки, в которых включена вложенная виртуализация и доступен /de/kvm

типа такого https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/enable-nested-virtualization-vm-instances

ок

в AWS, например, таких нет

при создании сессии в логе 500 ошибка , есть идеи?

есть идея написать больше подробностей

то что вы пишите - это то же самое, что "у меня ничего не работает, помогите"

давайте деталей, попробуем помочь

хотя бы текст ошибки

согласен

в логах селеноида такой кусок

это с использование headless_ie_selenium.exe в конфиге

если без него ,работает

вроде все по статье

т.е. при рабочем конфигурации я просто заменил IEDriverServer.exe на headless_ie_selenium.exe в конфиге browsers.json и перезапустил
