Rundeck/Runbook Automation 5.10 is here!

[rac...@rundeck.com]

Check out the new features and enhancements for PagerDuty Runbook Automation and Rundeck Community included in this release.

Official Support for Java 17

Rundeck 5.10 now supports Java 17, bringing significant advantages to enterprise customers through its Long Term Support (LTS) status and enhanced performance capabilities. Java 17 LTS support will extend until September 2029. This update delivers faster startup times and reduced memory footprint, particularly beneficial for containerized deployments and cloud environments. Users can upgrade seamlessly from Java 11 without disrupting existing automation workflows and custom plugins.

Enhanced Runner Install Experience

Enterprise Runners provide the crucial mechanism for securely dispatching automation to infrastructure within your environments. As Runners are regularly created by both new and existing users, the installation experience is critical for reducing the time to get up and running with Runbook Automation. This latest release streamlines Enterprise Runner deployment with a simplified installation process. Users can now select the platform type for their Runners (Linux, Windows, Docker or Kubernetes), and receive instant install commands. Enhancements at the Project and Systems level for runner management makes it easier for teams to get started within their Runbook Automation Projects.

Hello,

I'm trying to install rundeck 5.10 rpm version on a RHEL 8 but it seems that this version of rundeck always demand java 11 headless. I tested to install java 17 headless separately before rundeck but it still require java 11.

Anyone with the same issue?

Is there anyway to overcome this limitation?

Thank you,

Hi!

I just replicated that problem. It is related to Rundeck RPM packaging. We are working on it. 

Meanwhile, you can install Rundeck with Java 11, it is still working well.

If you want to test Rundeck on Java 17, you can try the WAR version and take a look at.

Thank you for the input!
