Summary

Harness has enhanced its infrastructure as code capabilities by integrating native Terragrunt support, allowing users to apply the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle more effectively in Terraform code and thereby reduce repetition and maintenance across different environments. Terragrunt, a wrapper tool around Terraform, facilitates the management of identical Terraform code across various environments by handling differences in input, output, and state files efficiently. Previously, Harness users had to use shell script provisioners for Terragrunt infrastructure provisioning, but now they benefit from a first-class integration, making the configuration of Terragrunt as seamless as configuring Terraform or CloudFormation within Harness. This development is particularly appealing to developers who value maintaining components easily and defining code once for multiple uses.
