Runbook Automation Updates

Also includes all Open Source updates from below

Highlights

• Sumo Logic Job Step Plugins: Now Sumo Logic users can automate operational tasks - such as retrieving logs for incident diagnostics - by integrating with a Sumo Logic instance. [Docs]

• ECS Node Executor Plugin: Users can now run commands across multiple ECS containers in a single Job Step or from the Commands tab. This makes it easier to accomplish tasks such as retrieving time-critical diagnostics during an incident before containers are redeployed.
