Rundeck/Runbook Automation 5.19 is here! Check out the new features and enhancements for PagerDuty Runbook Automation and Rundeck Community included in this release. This release focuses on stability, performance and security improvements across the platform, including:
Faster Job Metrics Loading
Job UI Metrics now load in seconds instead of minutes for projects with many jobs. We've optimized the system to fetch all metrics in a single batch request, eliminating timeout issues and excessive database queries that previously slowed down your workflow.
Extended AWS SSM Execution Times
Runbook Automation users can now run AWS SSM executions for up to 12 hours when using AssumeRole authentication, perfect for long-running cross-account operations. The system automatically validates timeout configurations to prevent failures, reducing engineering complexity and giving you the flexibility to handle extended automation tasks.
Enhanced Security & Reliability
This release includes important security updates across the platform. We've updated the Azure Storage Plugin to address three CVEs and enhanced our Docker images by updating Remco to remediate multiple security vulnerabilities. Additionally, we've resolved Hashicorp Vault timestamp issues and fixed Ansible inline workflow output handling for cleaner, more reliable executions.
