Introducing Delegate Installation via Helm
Blog post from Harness
Installing a Harness Delegate on Kubernetes using Helm simplifies the process of pipeline creation and execution, requiring minimal hardware resources and enhancing software development workflows. Delegates function like self-hosted runners and perform tasks assigned by the Harness Manager upon installation. The tutorial utilizes Helm, a package manager for Kubernetes, to install the Delegate by modifying the values.yaml file to fit specific resource requirements such as 2 vCPUs, 16 GB memory, and 50 GB disk space. The installation process involves ensuring necessary permissions on the Kubernetes cluster and linking the Helm repository to download and apply manifests. Successfully installing the Delegate allows users to create pipelines and improve their software development processes, with community support available through forums and Slack channels.
