### Communication and automation of Elixir systems
You may also deploy notebooks as applications that automate and monitor
live Elixir systems. You will use the same techniques
[as in the deploy guide](/learn/notebooks/deploy-apps) and from there
directly connect to your cluster.
live Elixir systems. By cliking on "+ Smart cell", you will find Livebook
provides a "Remote execution" widget, that allows you to configure the
node name, cookie, and the code you want to execute on the remote node.
To do so, you need to ensure Livebook is deployed in the same network
as your existing system. Then use [`Node.set_cookie/2`](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Node.html#set_cookie/2)
with the node you want to connect to and its cookie, and finally
explicitly call [`Node.connect/1`](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Node.html#connect/1)
to confirm the connection can be established successfully.
To execute code and retrieve data from the live node, use
[the `:erpc` module](https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erpc.html).
The node and cookie information are configured directly in the production
system you want to connect to. For example, to connect to a
[Phoenix application](https://phoenixframework.org/) running on your machine,
you may start it as follows:
```shell
$ iex --sname phoenix-app --cookie secret -S mix phx.server
```
With this information in hand, you can query and automate tasks within
existing Elixir systems. You may also mix remote execution with Livebook's
rich features to [deploy applications](/learn/notebooks/deploy-apps)
that interact with those clusters.

you may perform. For example, you can't install dependencies (nor that would
be a good idea on a running system).
You may also [connect your local Livebook instance to a node running in
production depending on your platform](https://fly.io/docs/elixir/advanced-guides/connect-livebook-to-your-app/).
Once connected, Livebook can run any code within your production nodes
(similar to a remote shell) which can be useful to debug and run checks
on live systems.
Attached nodes can't install new dependencies on a attached runtime
and, in general, we recommend it only for debugging of external system.
