Overview

Check out the new features and enhancements for PagerDuty Process Automation (formerly Rundeck Enterprise) and PagerDuty Runbook Automation (announced as Rundeck Cloud) and Rundeck Community included in this release.

New AWS Plugins

New AWS Job Step Plugins for ECS (Fargate) and Lambda are available for Commercial product users. See details about specific plugin functionality below:

• ECS/Fargate Command Workflow Step: Send commands to containers running in ECS using AWS's Systems Manager agent. This is useful for extracting realtime diagnostics from containers.
  
  
• Lambda Custom Code Workflow Step: Create, execute, and optionally delete a new Lambda function with the custom-code provided in a Job step as its input. This allows users to execute custom scripts as steps in their Jobs without needing to install any software - therefore particularly useful for Runbook Automation (Cloud) users.
