What is Harness CD Community Edition?

Harness CD Community Edition is a free and open edition of Harness CD that is designed for developers to deploy cloud-native services at the fastest velocity possible. Developers can self-host this edition on Docker or Kubernetes using a docker-compose.yml or a helm-chart respectively. This harness-cd-community repo houses these docker-compose and helm installers for Harness CD Community Edition while the harness-core and other public repos in this harness organization house the source code.

Harness CD is also available as a fully-managed SaaS solution in three different plans, namely Free, Team and Enterprise. For more details, see the Harness CD Editions & Plans page.

Get Started with Harness CD Community Edition

1. Install Harness CD Community Edition: using docker-compose or using helm chart.
2. Create a Kubernetes CD pipeline and deploy a sample nginx microservice into your local minikube or external Kubernetes cluster.
3. Explore core features, such as canary rollout, automated infrastructure/Terraform provisioning, pipeline-as-code, Git Experience and built-in approvals.
