Q2 2026 Product Update: Harness Continuous Delivery & GitOps

Harness’s Q2 2026 update introduces 38 enhancements across Continuous Delivery, verification, and GitOps, emphasizing safer progressive releases, AI workload support, and more self-service operations. Kubernetes improvements include staged percentage-based canary rollouts, safer blue-green rollback scaling, expanded dry-run options, more precise Istio routing, and OIDC client-credential access, while AWS, Google Cloud, OCI, and traditional deployment updates add capabilities such as coordinated rollbacks, spot-instance policies, CDK optimization, pre-traffic MIG validation, and Helm charts from Google Artifact Registry. Harness also adds first-class deployment pipelines for AWS and Google AI agent runtimes, applying approval gates, canaries, automated rollback, and policy controls to agent releases. Verification features introduce Git-managed monitored-service configurations, configurable AI Verify windows, per-metric sensitivity, and full CloudWatch Metrics Insights query support. GitOps enhancements include UI and pipeline-based application rollback, multi-namespace applications, selective synchronization, stronger RBAC, squash-and-merge workflows, no-op release-repository updates, AI-assisted troubleshooting, Zero Trust agent communication, and an updated bundled ArgoCD version.
