Harness joins with AWS to deliver continuous delivery-as-a-service to cloud-native applications

Harness announced that it is now available for purchase on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace — giving AWS customers the ability to access Harness' solution for automating the Continuous Delivery process and delivering artifacts to production quickly, securely, and repeatedly using machine learning (ML) and templatized pipelines.

Harness brings the power of enterprise Continuous Delivery to DevOps and engineering teams, empowering them to move fast and ship code without the fear of failed deployments. With its Smart Automation technology, Harness helps automate the entire continuous delivery process.

By applying unsupervised machine learning to the process — a new technology called Continuous Verification — the platform understands an application's baseline environment and can initiate automatic rollbacks when irregular activity is detected, avoiding application downtime or widespread failures.

The Harness Continuous Delivery platform includes Pipeline Builder. Instead of taking hours to build pipelines, DevOps teams can build and execute complete continuous delivery pipelines in minutes with serial or parallel workflows across their applications, services, and environments. It also features Workflow Wizard, whose complex deployments become simple with out-of-the-box support for canary deployments, blue/green deployments, and rolling updates on Amazon EKS, Amazon ECS, AWS Lambda, and AWS Auto Scale Groups.

The platform also provides continuous verification, so that release teams know for sure that deployments succeeded or failed by leveraging unsupervised machine learning to automatically verify application deployments in production. They can detect errors quality and regressions from tools such as Amazon CloudWatch, AppDynamics, New Relic, Splunk, Elastic and Sumo Logic, as well as use the Harness 24×7 ServiceGuard feature to monitor the performance of releases indefinitely.

The platform also includes automated rollback.Instead of painful, manual rollbacks, Harness can automate rollbacks to the last working artifact version and run-time configuration with no required scripting or code; and continuous security that harness bakes in security into every step of the deployment process. Harness uses its SecretStore, built on AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), or deep HashiCorp Vault integration to seamlessly reference secrets across all deployment workflows and pipelines. Harness also keeps full audit trail of every deployment, so teams know the who, what, where, and when behind every action.

The platform also provides real-time delivery analytics so that DevOps and engineering team leads now have insight into every application, environment, version and deployment. Teams can debug deployments in seconds, and role-based access is baked into every part of the platform.

"Harness customers are deploying applications at a lightning pace to AWS, and therefore teaming with AWS and joining AWS Marketplace is a natural fit for Harness as we continue to grow quickly and offer our platform to resource-strapped engineering and DevOps teams worldwide," said Jyoti Bansal, Harness co-founder & CEO. "We see Continuous Delivery as an extraordinarily complicated problem that, today, people are solving using outdated tools: Jenkins pipelines, scripting, and tons of manual oversight. The Harness Continuous Delivery platform is designed for exactly the kinds of complex, cloud-native applications that are the lifeblood of AWS customers."

New Amazon S3 storage class meets long-term data retention requirements, removes complexity of managing tape

Amazon Web Services Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company announced the general availability of Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive, a new storage class that provides secure, durable object storage for long-term retention of data that is rarely accessed. At $0.00099 per GB-month (less than one-tenth of one cent, or $1 per TB-month), S3 Glacier Deep Archive offers the lowest cost storage in the cloud, at prices significantly lower than storing and maintaining data in on-premises magnetic tape libraries or archiving data off-site.

Organizations in many market segments are required to retain data for long periods of time to meet regulatory compliance requirements. In addition, there are organizations, such as media and entertainment companies, that want to keep a backup copy of core intellectual property. These datasets are often very large, consisting of multiple petabytes, and yet typically only a small percentage of this data is ever accessed—once or twice a year at most.

To retain data long-term, many organizations turn to on-premises magnetic tape libraries or offsite tape archival services. However, maintaining this tape infrastructure is difficult and time-consuming; tapes degrade if not properly stored and require multiple copies, frequent validation, and periodic refreshes to maintain data durability. Additionally, it is difficult or impossible to do machine learning and other types of analysis directly on data stored on tape.

Now, with S3 Glacier Deep Archive, customers with large datasets they want to retain for long periods will be able to eliminate both the cost and management of tape infrastructure, while ensuring that their data is preserved for future use and analysis, such as in oil and gas seismic exploration and developing autonomous vehicles.

Customers can still use S3 Glacier when they want retrieval options in minutes for archive data, while S3 Glacier Deep Archive is ideal for customers who want the lowest cost for archive data that is rarely accessed. In the event that recovery becomes necessary, the objects can be recovered in as little as 12 hours with S3 Glacier Deep Archive versus days or weeks with off-site tape.

“We have customers who have exabytes of storage locked away on tape, who are stuck managing tape infrastructure for the rare event of data retrieval. It’s hard to do and that data is not close to the rest of their data if they want to do analytics and machine learning on it,” said Mai-Lan Tomsen Bukovec, Vice President, Amazon S3, AWS. “S3 Glacier Deep Archive costs just a dollar per terabyte per month and opens up rarely accessed storage for analysis whenever the business needs it, without having to deal with the infrastructure or logistics of tape access.”

With six different storage class options, Amazon S3 provides the broadest array of cost-optimization options available in the cloud today. All objects stored in S3 Glacier Deep Archive are replicated and stored across at least three geographically-dispersed Availability Zones, designed for 99.999999999% (eleven nines) durability, and can be restored within 12 hours or less. S3 Glacier Deep Archive also offers a bulk retrieval option that lets customers retrieve petabytes of data within 48 hours.

Customers can upload data to S3 Glacier Deep Archive over the internet or using AWS Direct Connect and the AWS Management Console, AWS Storage Gateway, AWS DataSync, AWS Command Line Interface, or the AWS Software Development Kit.

S3 Glacier Deep Archive is integrated with Tape Gateway, a cloud-based virtual tape library feature of AWS Storage Gateway, so customers using it to manage on-premises tape-based backups can choose to archive their new virtual tapes in either S3 Glacier or S3 Glacier Deep Archive. S3 Glacier Deep Archive is available in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
