Artifact Registry and Continuous Delivery

Last updated on

Harness Artifact Registry (HAR) integrates with Harness Continuous Delivery (CD) pipelines, enabling you to store, manage, and deploy artifacts across your software delivery lifecycle. This integration provides a unified experience for artifact management and deployment, ensuring traceability from build to production.

Before you begin​

Make sure you have the following:

  • Harness account with both Artifact Registry and Continuous Delivery modules enabled.
  • Artifacts stored in HAR: Go to Create a registry to set up your registry and push artifacts.
  • CD pipeline: Go to CD overview to understand pipeline fundamentals.

Supported CD swimlanes​

Harness Artifact Registry works with a wide range of CD swimlanes. Go to CD integrations to view the complete list of supported swimlanes and artifact types.

Configure CD services with Harness Artifact Registry​

Once you have artifacts stored in your Harness Artifact Registry, configure your CD services to use HAR as the artifact source:

  1. In your CD service configuration, select Harness Artifact Registry as the artifact source.
  2. Specify the registry and repository details.
  3. Define your artifact selection criteria (tags, versions, or latest).

Once configured, your service is ready to be deployed. The CD pipeline automatically fetches artifacts from HAR during execution.

Go to Use artifacts from Harness Artifact Registry to follow detailed step-by-step instructions on configuring services.

Deployment workflow​

Once your CD service is configured with Harness Artifact Registry, the deployment pipeline automatically authenticates with HAR, pulls the specified artifact version, and deploys it to your target environment.

Benefits of HAR and CD integration​

The native integration between HAR and CD provides several advantages:

  • Unified platform experience: Consistent authentication, permissions, and audit logging across artifact management and deployment workflows.
  • Automated artifact selection: Configure pipelines to automatically select artifact versions based on tags, labels, or runtime inputs.
  • Security and compliance: Ensure only approved artifacts are deployed with built-in access controls and audit trails.
