Summary

Harness Delegates and GitOps Agents offer a streamlined, scalable solution for executing commands remotely across multiple cloud providers and Kubernetes clusters, enhancing operational efficiency and simplifying multi-cloud deployments. By using these tools, organizations can avoid the complexities of local tooling and CLI installations, instead modeling their commands for remote execution through a containerized worker node that can be deployed anywhere on their infrastructure. These agents enable secure, efficient management of tasks across diverse cloud environments, supporting both direct and scoped access to Kubernetes clusters. The GitOps Agent, in particular, facilitates complex multi-cluster deployments by synchronizing manifests across clusters, offering a management layer that can integrate with existing ArgoCD instances or operate independently. Harness's approach allows for flexible scaling and separation of duties, accommodating different team needs while minimizing the administrative overhead associated with managing distributed systems.
