This release focuses on strengthening security and improving operational flexibility with powerful new automation capabilities, including:
Terraform Provider 1.0.0 Milestone
We're excited to announce version 1.0.0 of the Rundeck Terraform Provider—a complete modernization that eliminates all known discrepancies. This major release features a rebuilt architecture using the Terraform Plugin Framework, comprehensive job and runner management improvements with UUID support and complete notification configurations, and enhanced developer experience with better error messages and documentation. This update enables users to manage their entire Rundeck infrastructure as code, with zero plan drift and reducing overall configuration errors significantly while decreasing deployment time.
Operational Flexibility & Automation
Runbook Automation users gain configurable AWS SSM execution timeouts for long-running jobs beyond the previous 1-hour limit, reducing overall engineering time and complexity. Enhanced Slack notifications with FreeMarker template support ensure safer and more informative logging and improved context management.
