      <description>We&amp;rsquo;re happy to announce the release of R3.10. With the addition of a brand new Resource Manager, step is now completely cloud-ready. Although step has been running on docker for a long time, one of our goals for 2019 was to limit the need for accessing resources directly through the file system of the controller&amp;rsquo;s host. This is now done and there are now very few cases if any at all anymore which will require you to log onto any of step&amp;rsquo;s hosts, whether it be the controller or agents.</description>
