Kubernetes Cluster Observability Dashboard
Users can visualize and monitor Kubernetes cluster resources with a Lens-like observability tool, providing real-time insights into cluster health, resource utilization, and deployment status.
Applications in Harness CD
Users get an application view in Harness CD, created automatically from their existing services, environments, and deployment history.
Service Configuration Drift Detection and Reconciliation
Users can detect and reconcile configuration drift between deployed services and their desired state, maintaining deployment consistency and preventing configuration mismatches across environments.
Pod Status and Logs in Pipeline Execution
Users can see every Kubernetes pod created, updated, or deleted by a deployment, with its status and logs, in the pipeline execution view — during the rollout and after it completes.
Salesforce Org Maps
Users can visualize relationships between Salesforce orgs, compare configuration diffs between connected orgs, select specific diffs to publish to a branch, and deploy the branch to target orgs for streamlined multi-org management.
Change Advisor in Harness
AI-powered risk assessment for changes that automatically generates risk scores, enables low-risk changes to proceed automatically, and flags high-risk changes for additional scrutiny to reduce downtime and increase release velocity.
Visualization of GitOps Promotion Flows
Users can view deployment status of GitOps applications across multiple environments, directly within Harness CD and GitOps, through Release Orchestration, providing enhanced visibility into promotion workflows and deployment steps.
GitOps Promotion Steps
Users can implement GitOps promotion workflows using pre-built promotion steps, reducing configuration effort and standardizing progressive delivery patterns across environments.
Migration of GitOps Applications Between Agents
Users can rebalance and migrate GitOps applications from one agent to another, enabling better load distribution and agent maintenance without disrupting deployments.
Conditional and Dependent Inputs in Runtime Forms
Users can configure runtime input forms where fields are dynamically disabled or hidden based on variable selection, creating intelligent forms that adapt to user choices and reduce input errors.
Nested Template Composition
Users can insert stage templates within pipeline templates that themselves support step insertion, enabling modular pipeline architectures with Pipeline Template → Stage Template → Insert Steps composition.
OPA Version Upgrade to Support Rego v1
Users can leverage OPA Rego v1 language features and improvements, including enhanced performance, improved syntax, and better policy authoring capabilities.
Orchestration Queue Rollout
Users can manage release execution queues with prioritization, throttling, and coordination across multiple concurrent releases for better resource management.
Fine-Grained Role-Based Permissions
Users can configure granular role-based access controls for Release Orchestration entities, enabling precise permission management at entity level for improved security and governance.
OPA Policy Support for Release Orchestration
Users can enforce OPA policies on Release Orchestration workflows, changesets, and processes, ensuring governance and compliance throughout the release lifecycle.
Dependency Management in Changesets
Users can define and manage dependencies between changesets, ensuring correct execution order and preventing conflicts in release workflows.
Artifact Tracking and Changesets
Users can automatically track container images produced by build pipelines and compute changesets between versions — including commit diffs and linked Jira or ServiceNow tickets — giving full traceability into what changed across each release.
Next
Q4 2026, Nov 2026 - Jan 2027
Hosted GitOps
Users can leverage fully hosted GitOps agents managed by Harness, eliminating the need for self-managed agent infrastructure.
AI Powered Imports of Applications
Use the power of AI to create and assign related resources to GitOps Applications as they are imported.
GitX Integration
Users can integrate GitX with Continuous Verification (CV) for Git-based verification configuration management.
AI Agent Based Continuous Verification
Users can utilize AI agents for intelligent continuous verification of deployments with adaptive learning.
Support for AWS CloudWatch Logs
Users can configure AWS CloudWatch logs as a health source for continuous verification and log-based anomaly detection.
OIDC Support
Users can enable OIDC authentication for continuous verification health sources, improving security and access management.
Prometheus Default Health Source for Continuous Verification
Users can deploy with continuous verification using Prometheus as a built-in default health source without additional configuration.
Continuous Verification Support for Traffic Shifting Offerings
Users can use verify step with Harness deployment workflows that use traffic shifting strategies like canary and blue-green.
Template Verification
Users can validate and enforce OPA policies for templates, ensuring governance at the template level.
Support for Runtime Contexts
Users can create and enforce OPA policies that adapt to runtime contexts and dynamic conditions.
Improve OPA Onboarding Wizard
Users can leverage OPA onboarding wizard to simplify policy creation, configuration, and enforcement.
Later
Q1 2027 and beyond
Advanced Deployment Strategies
Extended support for sophisticated deployment patterns including progressive delivery, shadow deployments, and multi-region orchestration.
GitOps Advanced Automation
Further automation capabilities for GitOps workflows including intelligent drift detection, auto-remediation, and predictive scaling.
Advanced AI-Driven Verification
Next-generation AI capabilities for continuous verification including predictive anomaly detection and automated root cause analysis.
Multi-Cloud Orchestration Enhancements
Enhanced capabilities for orchestrating deployments across multiple cloud providers with unified policies and governance.
Release
Q2 2026 and earlier
Native Progressive Rollout Strategy with Percentage-Based Deployment Control
Users can deploy new application versions incrementally using percentage-based phasing (e.g., 10% → 25% → 50% → 100%) with manual or automated verification gates between phases, progressively replacing existing pods without doubling infrastructure resources.
Cloud Delegate Based Salesforce Deployments
Users can deploy Salesforce releases using cloud delegates, eliminating the need for self-hosted delegate infrastructure while maintaining full deployment capabilities.
Preconfigured Package.xmls for Salesforce Deployments
Users can use out-of-the-box package.xml templates for common Salesforce deployment scenarios, eliminating the need to manually configure package files for each deployment type.
Native Agent Deployment Support
Users can deploy AI agents natively within Harness CD pipelines, enabling intelligent automation and decision-making throughout the deployment lifecycle.
Git Experience Support for Monitored Services
Users can manage Monitored Services through Git, enabling Git-based change management, version control, and approval workflows for CV configurations.
AI Verify V2
AI Verify reaches full feature parity with traditional verification, bringing AI-powered deployment verification to all supported health sources and deployment types.
GitOps Integration with Argo Projects
Full CRUD and import support for ArgoCD App Projects in Harness, including UI for managing project settings such as repository access, cluster access, sync windows, and orphaned resources.
Allow Harness Secrets in GitOps Applications
Users can securely reference and use Harness secrets within GitOps application manifests and configurations, integrating with Harness secret management.
AI Supported Remediation
Users can leverage AI-powered recommendations to remediate GitOps deployment issues and failures with intelligent suggestions.
OPA Data on Dashboard
Users can view comprehensive OPA policy analytics on a dedicated dashboard, including policy violations and warnings over time, user triggers, policy names and severity, associated pipelines, and filtering capabilities.
OPA GitX Consistency for Git-Backed Entities
Users can ensure OPA policies are enforced on Git-backed entities even when changes are made directly to Git branches, preventing policy bypass scenarios.

Users can validate and test Rego policies directly within the Policy testing screen with syntax highlighting, indentation error detection, and inline validation without external tools.
Queue Activity Support
Users can consolidate execution of pipelines, finalize outputs, and execute processes based on approved queued outputs for better control over release workflows.
