High level goals

Rundeck is meant to be an operations console to define and manage automation in a cloud(y) environment.

Features

• Monitoring and statistics

  • Generate job execution data to a stats collection agent
  • Consume operational state about nodes from monitoring collection stations
  • Alarm response trigger Rundeck action (execute job or ad hoc command)

• Snippets

  • Bundles of boiler plate command strings searchable by description, too
  • Command completion in Run and Job composition pages

• Workflow

  • Pluggable workflow steps
  • Data share between steps
  • Configurable queue and semaphore
  • Retry (w/ threshold), pre-, post-condition workflows
  • Job iteration and step concurrency

• Node execution

  • Highlight filtered console output
  • Execution search include all output

• Node provider

  • Plugin system
  • Merging and mapping multiple sources

• Standalone

  • “headless” mode – “dispatch” and “run” tools – requires support for exec’ing workflows outside of a running server context. Eases integration inside closed virtual environments like Vagrant (patrick dubois)

• Security

  • Simplified access control policy

• Help

  • Contextual help system in GUI

• Packaging

  • Debian, Solaris, Windows packaging and service management
  • Chef, Puppet support
