‍Continuous Delivery

Streamline Kubernetes Rollouts

Kubernetes Rollout commands are now supported natively in Harness. Simply provide the desired command, and which resource, manifest, or release to target and Harness will take care of the rest.

Continuous Integration

Securely build with Harness CI Cloud using a secure tunnel

For customers using Harness CI Cloud, SecureConnect now supports Windows and MacOS (along with Linux) based build infrastructure. Customers can easily generate SLSA L3 provenance using Harness’ build infrastructure.

Split Feature Management & Experimentation

Easily target different app versions using Semantic Version Targeting
