An Overview of Complex Workflows in Rundeck

Hello Rundeckers! A recent question came in about a rather popular feature of Rundeck Enterprise:

Let's say I have 5 jobs, 
but I only want Job 3 to run 
after the first two have 
successfully completed. 

Can I do that in Rundeck?

Why yes!

You can accomplish this by making use of Complex Workflows in Rundeck Enterprise. In this example, we’re also showcasing what we consider to be a best practice (when practicable, of course) of using a parent job to call on children jobs as distinct little subroutines. Check out the video below:
