Since announcing the general availability of the Harness Developer Hub, our writers have continued to publish new content and improve existing content. These updates, based on customer feedback, are aimed to enhance clarity, improve accuracy, and create a structure that better follows the user journey.
We want to take this opportunity to inform you about just some of these exciting changes.
Get Started with Tutorials
Our tutorials are a great place to get started with hands-on learning. We continue to add more tutorials and guides covering specific use cases for Harness modules. Recent additions include:
How to use CD to automatically deploy Kubernetes and GitOps services, AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Serverless functions, and traditional applications on cloud or physical data center VMs.
CCM tutorials on AutoStopping and optimizing cloud costs for Kubernetes.
Learn more with Documentation
In addition to new documentation sets for Continuous Error Tracking and the Internal Developer Portal, we’ve improved and expanded content for our existing modules, the Harness Platform, and the Harness Self-Managed Enterprise Edition.
Continuous Integration
The Harness CI documentation now has more introductory and summary information, such as the CI pipeline creation overview, to help you understand your CI pipelines at a high level. As you learn to use CI, the documentation moves from introductory to advanced configurations.
We’ve eliminated redundancy by combining reference topics with their “parent” sections or pages. This reduces the number of pages you need to visit to find the information you need. For example, the Upload Artifacts to GCS page includes helpful information about using this step in a CI pipeline as well as reference information for this step’s settings.
Almost all of the existing pages have been refreshed, and we’ve added several new topics. Here are some highlights:
The Continuous Delivery & GitOps documentation has been reorganized to provide a clearer path to onboarding and extending with Harness CD & GitOps. You can:
The Harness CCM documentation has been reorganized into three main categories: cost reporting, cost optimization, and cost governance.
We’ve added more detail about what’s supported, and we’ve added several new topics about Asset Governance, including Asset Governance with AIDA and Asset Governance RBAC. Asset Governance is one of CCM’s key features, providing users with essential information on managing cloud assets using a Governance-as-Code approach that includes real-time enforcement and auto-remediation capabilities.
The Harness Service Reliability Management (SRM) documentation has undergone a comprehensive reorganization, designed to enhance the user's learning journey. The restructured documentation provides a clear roadmap for users to progress from foundational concepts to advanced topics. We’ve refreshed existing topics and added several new topics.
The change impact analysis section explains how to use dashboards to correlate change events with service performance so you can make informed decisions and maintain service reliability.
Security Testing Orchestration
For STO, we’ve added definitions of key STO concepts like targets, baselines, variants, severity scores and levels, exemptions ("ignore rules"), and failing pipelines by severity.
We’ve added several new workflows describing how to use GitHub Actions and Plugin steps to run scans, ingest SARIF data, use AIDA with STO, download scan images from private registries, add artifacts to STO pipelines, and stop pipelines automatically based on governance policies and scan results.
The scanner references have been revised and expanded, including scan steps that support scanner templates and information about scanner support by scan mode, binaries in STO container images, and Docker-in-Docker root access requirements.
The only constant in technology is change. Since the new series was first released in March of 2023, the Harness-Certified Expert Certifications have expanded. There are now more certifications available, and there are three levels of coverage for the Harness Continuous Delivery & GitOps module: Developer, Administrator, and Architect. The Administrator and Architect levels also include a hands-on portion to validate practical Harness skills.
As Harness continues to expand and evolve, so will our documentation. We have plans for more tutorials, more YAML examples, and other new and improved content. Check in on the HDH regularly for the latest updates.
