3. Accelerated Time-to-Market
In today’s fast-paced software development landscape, delivering quickly is critical. Harness DevOps Essentials automates key DevOps workflows like CI/CD, security testing, and infrastructure management. Automation reduces manual work, shortens development cycles, and allows teams to deploy features and fixes faster while maintaining high quality.
4. Governance & Security Built-In
Security and compliance can’t be an afterthought. Harness DevOps Essentials includes built-in governance features such as role-based access control (RBAC), audit logging, and approval workflows. Our Security Test Orchestration (STO) product also continuously scans source code, artifacts, and cloud configurations for vulnerabilities, ensuring secure deployments. Harness also scans secrets and detects code vulnerabilities directly within the Harness Code Repository, offering comprehensive security coverage from code to production.
5. Dashboards and Analytics
Harness DevOps Essentials provides comprehensive dashboards and analytics around builds, deployments, and cloud consumption. Teams gain complete visibility into their software delivery performance through pre-configured dashboards and customizable metrics. This transparency helps identify bottlenecks, track key performance indicators, and make data-driven decisions that improve productivity and efficiency.
Included Modules:
- Continuous Delivery (CD): Simplify and automate application deployments with built-in rollback and deployment strategies.
- Continuous Integration (CI): Fastest CI on the planet. Supercharge your builds, tests, and integrations of code quickly and reliably using automated pipelines.
- Code Repository: Manage source code with version control, ensuring secure and organized development.
- Security Test Orchestration (STO): Continuously scan and monitor your applications for vulnerabilities throughout the development lifecycle.
- Infrastructure as Code Management (IaCM): Define, provision, and manage infrastructure through code for consistency and repeatability.
- Future Modules (Coming Soon) include Harness Artifact Registry for centralized artifact storage and Cloud Development Environments for rapid provisioning.
These modules form the most comprehensive DevOps bundle available. This bundle gives organizations complete control over DevOps practices while enhancing developer efficiency. Teams can deploy applications securely, at scale, and in a repeatable, automated manner, ensuring continuous innovation without sacrificing reliability.
