Harness

THe information below relates to Harness NextGen, and I doubt any of it's relevant to FirstGen.

Concepts

• Connectors manage credentials for external services, such as GitHub, Kubernetes.
• Accounts are the root of the configuration.
  • Account Resources contains account-wide connectors.
  • Policies allows gating execution of pipelines, connectors, and secrets which fail the specified Open Policy Agent policies.
    • Policy Sets apply policies to different resource types.
  • Organisations allow segmenting accounts for some level of multi-tenancy.
• Modules are areas of functionality:
  • Build performs CI.
    • Test Intelligence correlates source code changes to relevant tests to reduce run-time.
  • Deployments performs CD.
    • Continuous Verification has the platform compare the previous and current release quality.
  • Cloud Costs allows scraping billing data from the following services:
    • AWS
    • Azure
    • Google Cloud
    • Kubernetes
  • Feature Flags allows toggling features from the Harness platform.

The Harness platform is made up of two key components:

• The Manager is the Harness UI and API we interact with to trigger and approve operations.
• Delegates are the workers that host the jobs.

Pipelines can be edited in one of two experiences:

• Graphical Pipeline Studio
• YAML

invalid privatekey: [B@0123abcd

Harness apparently uses the JSch library which lacks support for the new OpenSSH private key format.

Either convert the existing key:

ssh-keygen -p -f $filename -m PEM

Or generate a new one:

ssh-keygen -m PEM
