About Rundeck

Rundeck provides a way to define and operate runbooks as jobs. A team can describe the steps for a maintenance task, expose the inputs an operator needs and keep a record of each execution. For example, a routine might collect logs from a known environment and produce a report for a team member to review. The Community edition is open source and additional capabilities are available through commercial products. Think through who should run each job and which systems it can reach. Start with a read only task and use the execution history to check that the right steps ran. Validate credentials, approval requirements and recovery procedures before turning a sensitive operation into a button or scheduled job.
