Helm Support for Harness Continuous Delivery

Harness enhances the capabilities of Helm, a popular tool for managing Kubernetes applications, by introducing advanced deployment strategies like Canary and Blue-Green deployments and automating rollbacks. This integration allows for streamlined Kubernetes application management without altering the chart specifications, offering a first-class continuous delivery solution for microservices packaged as Helm Charts. Harness simplifies environment-specific configurations and provides automatic rollback capabilities, addressing the manual work typically associated with Helm's deployment and rollback processes. By organizing environment-specific configurations and secrets within an Environment resource, Harness facilitates the deployment of services across multiple environments. The platform also supports Helm Repository Connectors and allows Helm charts to be fetched directly from Git repositories, enabling a GitOps workflow. Additionally, Harness supports client-only mode for Helm, circumventing the challenges associated with tiller and leveraging standard kubectl mechanisms for deployment.
