Rundeck -- run job steps in parallel

[chengkai liang]

While we can dispatch jobs to nodes in parallel, can we direct rundeck to run job steps inside a job in multi-thread?  Is there any configurable options there that we can set?

Thanks,

Hi Chenkgai,

workflow steps cannot yet be run in parallel, but there is a feature request for this: http://rundeck.lighthouseapp.com/projects/59277/tickets/329-running-steps-in-parallel

I guess maybe using run tool can treat as a workaround?

Since you sort-of called for ideas, I'd like to give this one a bump. We're looking at compelling reasons to convert from Control Tier to Rundeck, and the updated UI is a big one, but what we really need is for steps to be run in parallel. Control Tier seems to have a better ability to run things in parallel when you have a number of services defined on a number of nodes. Our product suite has a number of components, and when we want to shut down everything on a node we want all the shutdowns to be run in parallel as they have no dependency on each other.

Looking at the feature request mentioned below, you could define a step (sequential/has dependency) or a task (no dependency). Each task could get some identifier and be able to be summarized in the UI like nodes are summarized. As many tasks can be run in parallel as defined by a thread count variable.

Hi Dan,

Great proposal and that request that has come up a few times before so it is now an idea on the board.

Thanks!
