Harness Continuous Delivery for Red Hat OpenShift
Blog post from Harness
Harness Continuous Delivery streamlines deployment pipelines for Red Hat OpenShift by replacing manual Jenkins Pipelines with automated workflows, offering advanced deployment strategies such as Blue-Green and Canary through AI-driven Continuous Verification to ensure performance and quality. OpenShift, an enterprise-grade application platform using Kubernetes, serves as an abstraction layer between applications and underlying infrastructure, providing an easy management option for those using Red Hat Enterprise Linux. While OpenShift Pipelines rely heavily on Jenkins and customer-written scripts, Harness offers a more dynamic alternative with templates and supported plugins, eliminating the need for extensive manual scripting. Harness integrates with various Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Log Analytics tools, allowing for the automatic verification of deployments and facilitating rollback in case of anomalies. The process to set up an OpenShift deployment pipeline with Harness is designed to be efficient, taking only 5-10 minutes, and includes creating services, cloud providers, workflows, pipelines, and triggers.
