Harness ended support of KOTS-based installations and upgrades as of December 1, 2023. Harness customer support will no longer take any incoming questions on KOTs.
The following table lists the major supported features for Harness Self-Managed Enterprise Edition offerings.
| Solution | Supported Platform | Connected | HA | Monitoring | Disaster Recovery |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Self-Managed Enterprise Edition Release cadence
Harness releases Self-Managed Enterprise Edition on a monthly basis. Additionally, periodic hot-fixes are released as needed. Self-Managed Enterprise Edition takes a branch cut of Harness SaaS release and creates a Release Candidate which goes through the iteration of testing and bug fixing process after which the release candidate is released.
Supported Kubernetes versions
| Kubernetes Version | Supported | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1.30 | Yes | Starting with EKS 1.30 (AWS), the support for default annotation on the storage class has been removed. For Harness to work, please update your overrides to include the storageClassName (gp2, gp3, etc) by updating the following values: global: storageClass: "gp3" storageClassName: "gp3" |
| 1.29 | Yes | |
| 1.28 | Yes | |
| 1.27 | Yes |
- Effective October 7, 2022, with the release of version 76918, Self-Managed Enterprise Edition no longer supports Kubernetes open-source versions 1.18 and earlier.
- Self-Managed Enterprise Edition supports the other versions of Kubernetes you use on a best-effort basis.
Terms of support
The support policy is 12 months of full support, followed by 6 months of limited support for critical security fixes only.
Harness Self-Managed Enterprise Edition does not introduce changes that break compatibility with supported versions of Kubernetes. For example, Self-Managed Enterprise Edition does not use features from Kubernetes version n that do not work in Kubernetes version n-2.
Installation and upgrade preflight checks provide warnings when you use unsupported Kubernetes versions.
In cases where you encounter a problem related to an incompatibility issue, you must upgrade your cluster. Harness does not issue a patch to accommodate the use of unsupported Kubernetes versions.
