Harness has introduced a new Pipeline Governance feature to ensure compliance with regulatory and operational standards such as PCI, HIPAA, and SOX within software development. This feature allows managers to score deployment pipelines based on weighted tags that represent different compliance standards, ensuring that pipelines meet necessary regulations before approval. The scoring system assigns weights to tags, impacting the overall compliance score, which helps in determining whether a deployment can proceed. Users can apply tags at various stages of a pipeline to represent compliance standards, and the governance standards can be customized and associated with specific applications. Additionally, recent updates include support for the latest Elasticsearch release, enhanced workflow verification, and Service Guard features, as well as the ability to disable or conditionally execute pipeline stages. Harness also encourages users to share unique tips and tricks for using the platform, offering a gift card as an incentive.
