Rundeck is a runbook automation and orchestration platform that lets teams run job scheduling, infrastructure management, and self-service operations tasks without needing deep subject-matter expertise. It orchestrates existing automation (such as Ansible playbooks) across storage, containers, cloud, and database environments. An open-source version is available for download, and a commercial edition (Rundeck by PagerDuty) adds high-availability deployment, remote execution via Enterprise Runners, and professional support.
