Harness Launches Source Available Continuous Delivery
Blog post from Harness
Harness has launched a source-available Community Edition of its Continuous Delivery (CD) platform, designed to simplify and expedite the deployment of pipelines for developers, reducing the need for enterprise contracts and minimizing bureaucratic procedures. This offering is particularly beneficial for developers at large enterprises and smaller teams, allowing them to build and deploy pipelines in about 15 minutes. The Community Edition operates under the Polyform Shield License, permitting free use for most users, and initially supports Kubernetes, with plans to extend compatibility to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Build, VMware Tanzu, and serverless deployments. It includes features such as automated deployments, infrastructure provisioning, integrated approval flows, and a pipeline-as-code experience. Available for download on GitHub, this edition requires Docker Desktop or a Kubernetes cluster for installation. As a first general-availability release, Harness is seeking user feedback to refine this self-managed software offering, complementing its existing SaaS products.
