NOW GENERALLY AVAILABLE: HARNESS GITOPS-AS-A-SERVICE DELIVERS SCALABILITY,
CONTROL, AND SECURITY TO ENTERPRISES

As GitOps evolves into a new industry standard for continuous software delivery,
Harness is proud to introduce generally available enterprise capabilities for
GitOps deployments with governance, reliability, and visibility at scale as a
part of the most comprehensive software delivery platform on the market.

Today we are announcing the general availability of fully managed Harness
GitOps-as-a-Service bringing enterprise controls to GitOps deployments with
governance, reliability, and visibility at scale.

Developers face the growing complexity of application development in
microservices architecture with the demand for even more frequent application
deployments. GitOps uses Git — the most widely-used modern version control
system in the world today — as the single source of truth for container-based
continuous integration and continuous deployment, allowing development teams to
increase velocity and improve system reliability. However, most existing GitOps
solutions today lack the controls, visibility, security, and scalability
required by enterprise customers.  

Harness GitOps-as-a-Service, built on the popular Cloud Native Computing
Foundation (CNCF)-incubated open source Argo CD project, delivers the lightning
fast deployments and lightweight operation developers love and takes it to the
next level with enterprise-grade security, governance, and scale.


GITOPS-AS-A-SERVICE IMPROVES DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE WITH THE SCALABILITY AND
CONTROL DEVOPS TEAMS REQUIRE

GitOps is becoming increasingly popular by offering a developer-friendly
deployment solution. Customers have told us that traditional GitOps
implementations are simple to set up, but managing a volume of implementations
at scale is difficult. 

To make GitOps easier, more secure, and more manageable for our enterprise
customers, we’re making our hosted GitOps-as-a-Service solution generally
available as a part of the Harness Software Delivery Platform.

“GitOps is becoming the industry paradigm for continuous software delivery,
providing a solution for developers who have struggled to identify a
frictionless deployment solution,” said Jyoti Bansal, CEO and co-founder at
Harness. "While many organizations like the convenience of GitOps and Argo, they
must meet security and governance requirements that Argo does not
provide,Harness GitOps-as-a-Service delivers on our promise to provide the most
comprehensive CD solution available to developers, including security,
governance, and scalability without tradeoff.” 


BUILT FOR THE NEEDS OF THE ENTERPRISE

GitOps, often seen as a way to orchestrate the “last mile” of a deployment,
hasn’t historically catered to the requirements of the enterprise. In response
to this need, Harness GitOps-as-a-Service offers a world-class developer
experience along with the required enterprise security and governance controls
to deploy applications faster. All this comes with complete visibility into
deployments and the ability to manage a volume of deployments at
enterprise-class scale.  

Here are a few key areas that make Harness CD & GitOps unique:


GOVERNANCE

Harness provides enterprise-grade security and control, giving anyone the
ability to enforce governance. Teams can drive their own software delivery
processes with the confidence that they are adhering to all compliance standards
and security policies. 

This approach includes: 

 * Policy as Code with Harness’s OPA (Open Policy Agent) integration allows
   organizations to create, manage, and enforce policies across software
   delivery processes, governing pipelines, and deployments. 
 * Audit trails that allow everyone to track and review events in a single
   location, so there’s never a question of “what changed and when,” ensuring
   that organizations stay compliant and are stress-free in the event of an
   audit. 
 * Fine-grained role-based access controls (RBAC) that make it easy to customize
   and manage who has access to perform specific actions across an
   organization.  
 * Unified Single Sign-On (SSO) across different deployments improves your
   overall security posture, helps keep you compliant, and improves usability by
   saving developers’ time.


DEPLOY WITH CONFIDENCE AT SCALE

Harness GitOps-as-a-Service makes it easy to scale across an organization
because the entire set up process can be orchestrated in a declarative manner.
The addition of pull request pipelines makes it easy to propagate changes across
multiple services and environments without having to individually manage each
deployment by adding a layer of pipeline orchestration on top of standard GitOps
deployments. 

Because GitOps can be orchestrated using pipelines, users have access to
additional features like continuous verification, automated rollbacks, and
service reliability management. These guardrails let developers deploy changes
confidently without the risk of causing application downtime. 


CENTRALIZED VISIBILITY AND MANAGEMENT

Harness provides a centralized GitOps control center that allows teams to manage
and view all deployments across multiple environments. Teammates can drill down
into granular service and environment details to check the status of services
and monitor deployment health. If someone needs more data than what is provided,
Harness makes it easy to create custom Looker dashboards and visualize multiple
tables or graphs in one place, so you can get a quick view of related services
and deployment health without switching tabs.  


FLEXIBLE 

GitOps-as-a-Service lets developers start with a hosted Argo CD solution or they
can bring their own Argo CD instances. If a developer has already spent the time
and effort to set up Argo CD, GitOps-as-a-Service allows them to get started in
the Harness platform and gain the additional governance and scalability needed
for the enterprise. Haven’t started on the GitOps journey yet? Great,
GitOps-as-a-Service makes it easy to get started quickly without causing a
scalability problem down the road. 

We’re excited to see what you do with Harness GitOps-as-a-Service and will
continue to iterate and improve each day. 


HOW TO GET STARTED

For those of you who are interested in getting hands-on with
GitOps-as-a-Service, here’s how to get started.

Harness provides native GitOps functionality that syncs Kubernetes manifests
with target clusters using Harness.

To begin, you will set up GitOps-as-a-Service by installing a GitOps Agent in
your environment and then defining the desired and target state in a GitOps
Application in Harness. Alternatively, you can import your existing Argo CD
instances to skip this step. The GitOps Agent performs sync operations and
reacts to events in the source and target states.



All the entities required for an application live under the Settings tab.



Once you have completed the prerequisites, you can start using
GitOps-as-a-Service. 

Let’s get a look at some of our built-in reporting capabilities.

In the screenshot below, we are showing a resource map providing visibility into
the sync and health status of all of the different resource kinds involved in a
single deployment. Users are able to drill down into any individual resource to
view its manifest details and identify drift. 



The overview screen below provides insight into the latest sync and health
status across all of your environments.
