Harness, the leading platform for software delivery, today announced end-to-end integrations with Amazon (AWS) GovCloud, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to help DevOps and engineering teams perform multi-cloud software deployments. Harness was initially developed to deploy pipelines and provide cost management for applications hosted in Kubernetes environments; they are now expanding on that vision with the first CI/CD and cloud cost management platform fully available across the three major public cloud platforms.
This is extremely important for companies like GoSpotCheck. GoSpotCheck hosts its applications in multiple clouds including AWS and GCP. Consequently, GoSpotCheck had to build and maintain individual pipelines for each cloud, a time-consuming process requiring expertise in the API’s of both providers. These pipelines weren’t agnostic or portable across clouds, stacks, and platforms.

“Our deployment pipelines were complex and not cloud agnostic.” – Nick Wilson | DevOps Lead
Today with Harness, GoSpotCheck is able to easily move microservices between clouds with zero downtime. Harness abstracts the interaction with each cloud provider so the deployment is easily switched between clouds providers without requiring knowledge of the underlying API’s. Software Delivery pipelines are agnostic, portable, and dynamic – requiring minimal maintenance by engineers or the DevOps team.
According to Gartner, more than 81% of organizations running in the cloud use two or more public cloud providers. To compound this, each cloud provider requires dedicated engineering expertise and tools to manage specific cloud provider nuances. This slows down engineering teams that are already burdened with too many tools. Today’s enterprises need a full-stack CI/CD platform that permits them to move seamlessly between the big three public cloud providers (AWS, Azure and GCP), while allowing them to lower cloud costs. Harness enables customers to consolidate their build, deploy, verify, and cost management processes into a single, streamlined platform without worrying about the complexity of a multi-cloud environment.
“We’re noticing a direct correlation between containerized software deployments and the move toward cloud-native architectures,” said Jyoti Bansal, CEO and co-founder, Harness. “As more enterprises look to do more with their software and reduce infrastructure costs, they’re turning to multi-cloud architectures to improve uptime, avoid vendor lock-in and gain price leverage. With these integrations, Harness is answering that call, providing an abstraction layer between cloud deployment complexity and developers, so every company can deliver next-generation software faster than ever.”
By granting customers access to all the major public clouds directly, Harness provides the same profound deployment and cost management experiences expected when managing applications hosted on Kubernetes. Harness’ latest integrations with each of the major public cloud providers include:
