Overview

Check out the new features and enhancements for PagerDuty Runbook Automation and Rundeck Community included in this release.

All fixes from the 5.0.2 release are also included in this version.

Highlights

AWS Secrets Manager

This new Key Storage integration with AWS Secrets Manager can retrieve and use secrets stored in AWS for Jobs, node discovery, and dispatch.
The integration can connect with multiple AWS accounts and retrieve secrets from across any number of AWS regions, giving users a quick method for tying in their existing secrets management to Runbook Automation.

See the full AWS Secrets Manager documentation for more details.

CyberArk and Thycotic Key Storage plugins

The Enterprise Runner can now integrate with CyberArk Secrets Manager and Thycotic Secret Server.
These integrations enable customers to retrieve and use secrets within Runbook Automation (self-hosted or cloud) from a CyberArk or Thycotic instance that is not directly accessible from Runbook Automation.
This allows customers to continue using their existing secrets-management provider and not store, copy or save those secrets within Runbook Automation.
Full documentation for Thycotic can be found here and for Cyberark here.
