What is Rundeck?

Rundeck is a web-accessible console for

dispatching commands and scripts to your nodes!

Think of rexify, and think of a GUI for it!

It can be also used for deployments, ops tasks etc...

4

Plugins / Integrations

Integrate Rundeck in the following environments

5

Ressource Model Provider – Node management

Several Sources can be used for example:


- Directory including the above supported files

- Files in a supported format (yaml or xml)

- Own script to produce the node data

- Url Sources (can be used with plugins like puppet)

6

Node Executor / File Copier

- Rundeck simply uses privatekey authentication


How is Rundeck dispatching commands to the nodes?

How is Rundeck copying scripts to the nodes?

- Rundeck simply uses SCP

What else is possible?

-You can use custom ssh commandsthrough the scriptoption for example:script-exec: ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -t -t ${node.username}@${node.hostname} -- ${exec.command}

7

Filtering Nodes / Tagging / Integrations

- Nodes can be filtered with simple regular expressions


- You can use tags predefined for example in Puppet

How can I select only some specific nodes for execution?

- Filters can be saved for later faster use

8

Jobs / Commands / Scripts

Within Rundeck you can easily create:


- Jobs (can be triggered by the scheduler or on- demand

- dispatch Scripts to the selected nodes

- or simply some user defined commands
