What differentiates this from things like n8n, node red, and stackstorm? (which sort of occupy a zapier replacement, IoT automation, and infra automation niche, respectively)

Process Automation and Rundeck version 4.5.0 is live!
Changing default SCM SSH authentication to SSHJ: The SCM integration now uses SSHJ for SSH authentication by default (previously JSCH). GitHub has tightened up their SSH key requirements and now requires SSH-RSA 2 keys. The new default for ssh-keygen via OpenSSH is not supported by JSCH.

How to setup a containerized python environment? Function as a Service or an alternative solution for a Python execution environment.
Firstly, I tried Rundeck and Apache Airflow. They are complete overkill for what I want to do. Then I found Cronicle which is light enough, besides it can pull double duty as a general purpose scheduler.

Important Advisory: PagerDuty Process Automation On Prem / Rundeck Key Pair Misconfiguration
Yesterday we posted a Security Advisory to Github for a critical vulnerability in Rundeck Community and Rundeck Enterprise Docker images, versions 4.0 and earlier. Those Docker images contained a pre-generated SSH key pair in the default file path. If that key was used to configure SSH access to hosts, they would allow access to anyone with the exposed private key.
