Automate Artifact Cleanup in Harness Registry

Artifact management is increasingly challenged by the rapid growth of AI-generated software artifacts, such as container images and packages, which complicates cleanup processes in registries. The difficulty lies in balancing the need to control storage costs and avoid removing essential artifacts still in use, a challenge exacerbated by traditional cleanup rules that are not suited for the speed and volume of AI-driven software delivery. Harness Artifact Registry addresses these challenges with Lifecycle Rules that integrate metadata across the software development lifecycle to intelligently protect deployed artifacts from deletion without requiring additional rules. It offers features like dry-run previews, soft-delete with recovery options, and an attachment model that allows rules to be selectively applied across different scopes, ensuring a policy-driven, predictable, and safe approach to artifact lifecycle management. This system enables teams to automate cleanup without risking operational disruptions, providing a scalable solution for managing artifact registries as software delivery accelerates.
