Award reflects deepening Google Cloud partnership and joint innovation in agentic AI
SAN FRANCISCO, April 21, 2026 -- Harness, the AI Software Delivery Platform™ company, today announced that it has received the 2026 Google Cloud Technology Partner of the Year Award in the Application Development - DevOps category.
Harness has deepened its strategic partnership with Google Cloud through a series of meaningful integrations and joint innovations. Most recently, the Harness MCP Server became accessible within Google's Gemini Enterprise environment, enabling customers to leverage Harness capabilities directly from their existing AI interface — meeting developers where they already work. Harness has also been an early adopter of Google's Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, positioning the platform at the forefront of the agentic AI ecosystem and enabling seamless collaboration between AI agents across complex development workflows.
“The Google Cloud Partner Awards honor the strategic innovation and measurable value our partners bring to customers,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, President, Global Partner Ecosystem and Channels, Google Cloud. “We are proud to name Harness a 2026 Google Cloud Partner Award winner, celebrating their role in driving customer success over the last year.”
“Being named Google Cloud's Technology Partner of the Year in DevOps is a testament to the depth of our collaboration and the real-world impact we're delivering for our joint customers," said Tom O'Reilly, SVP, Worldwide GTM Partnerships at Harness. "Together, we continue to innovate and build cutting-edge solutions that meet the moment. As AI becomes central to how software is built and deployed, our partnership with Google Cloud ensures that engineering teams have exactly what they need to lead.”
Harness works with Google Cloud to give engineering teams end-to-end visibility across the development lifecycle, reduce the toil that slows teams down, and deliver a developer experience that drives lasting business impact. By combining Harness's AI software delivery capabilities with the breadth of Google Cloud's infrastructure and AI platform, joint customers are able to ship software faster and with greater confidence.
