RunDeck is an open-source automation platform that provides users with the ability to automate and schedule tasks across multiple servers. It enables users to define and manage tasks in a central location, making it easier to view, manage, and control tasks from one place. With RunDeck, users can define and execute tasks such as server provisioning, configuration management, backups, and deployments. It is designed to be lightweight, flexible, and extensible, allowing users to add custom plugins and integrations with other tools. It also supports a range of authentication mechanisms, including Active Directory, LDAP, and SSH keys.
