Migrating CD Jenkins Pipelines to Harness Using Helm

Migrating from Jenkins to Harness CD significantly streamlined deployment processes by eliminating the need for scripting and enabling advanced deployment strategies like Canary and Blue-Green without custom logic. Harness, designed specifically for Continuous Deployment (CD), improved efficiency and reliability with features such as Continuous Verification, which aids in ensuring deployment health and recommending rollbacks if necessary. The transition highlighted the limitations of using Jenkins, a Continuous Integration (CI) tool, for CD tasks, which often required relying on Helm for managing deployed versions and rollbacks. Harness's configuration-based approach, along with its templating engine, allowed for the easy recreation of pipelines, reducing complexity and enhancing deployment awareness compared to traditional methods. This shift provided a more modern and integrated solution, emphasizing the benefits of using a tool built from the ground up for CD tasks, ultimately offering a more robust and seamless deployment experience.
