What is Rundeck?
Rundeck is explicitly marketed as "Rundeck by PagerDuty," reflecting an acquisition that positions it as the operational-automation counterpart to PagerDuty's incident response strength. It orchestrates existing automation across an organisation's tooling to reduce operational overhead, built on an open-source core that remains freely downloadable.
The free OSS version covers job scheduling, infrastructure management and self-service automation for DevOps and platform engineering teams. Commercial tiers add high-availability deployment, the ability to target any environment through Enterprise Runners, and other resilience features enterprises need beyond what the open-source edition provides. For teams already using PagerDuty for incident response, Rundeck's ownership offers a natural pairing between detecting an incident and running the remediation runbook.
