What is Rundeck?
Rundeck is a software that helps you automate routine operational in data center or cloud environments.
A Server for people that want to create reusable task automation

5. 5
What is Rundeck?
An open source software project at GitHub (Apache 2.0 license)
Teams can collaborate to share how processes are automated while others are given trust to view operational activity or execute tasks.
New idea: “Operations as a Service”

Essential Concepts
Projects:
A project is a place to separate management activity. All Rundeck activities occur within the context of a project.
Jobs:
A Job is a configuration representing input options. A job encapsulate a sequence of steps, job options and nodes where the steps execute.

7. Essential Concepts
Nodes:
A node is a resource that is either a physical or virtual instance of a network accessible host. A resource model is a representation of Nodes in a project.
7
Commands:
A command is a single executable string executed on a Node. Rundeck invokes commands on nodes via a node executor.

8. 8
Executions:
An execution is a representation of the activity of a running or completed command or job.
Essential Concepts
Role-based Access Control Policies:
A Rundeck access control policy grants users and user groups certain privileges to perform actions against Rundeck.

9. 9
Plugins:
Most of what Rundeck does is via one of its plugins. Plugins exist to execute commands on nodes, perform steps in a job, send a notification about job status, gather information about the hosts in your network, etc.

Essential Concepts
Users
Rundeck has three basic ways of defining authentication.
•PropertyFileLoginModule
It allows to manage user credentials for Rundeck using a text file, which containing usernames, passwords and role definitions. Usually this file is called realm.properties.
•LDAP
Through JAAS login module you can use for LDAP directory authentication
•PAM
This module can work with existing properties-file based authorization roles by enabling shared credentials between the modules.

Rundeck architecture
RunDeck stores job definitions and execution history in a relational database. Output from command and job executions is saved on disk.

12. Jenkins - Rundeck

Login
The default port for the web interface is 4440. If you installed Rundeck on your local machine, go to this URL: http://localhost:4440
Rundeck requires every user to login. The default installation defines an "admin" user with access to perform all actions. Use "admin" for username and password.
